Absorb stamina and magicka enchantments not working.

[Thepzy_™]

This is an issue I'm actually having on PS4, and I wasn't able to find any other info online about it, so I'm wondering if anyone here can help.

I have the Mace of Molag Bal, the Nightengale Blade and Keening and none of their enchantments work. I haven't tested Volendrung, but I'm assuming its enchantment isn't working either, and I have no idea why. All other weapons that have just the absorb health enchantment work fine, like the Ebony blade, however the Mace of Molag Bal and the Nightengale blade are rendered completely useless for some reason. The mace had worked in the past, however the blade hasn't worked at all when I got it. They still use charges, they just don't absorb anything, yet the mace's soul trap still works.

I have no idea what's up. I have no mods, obviously can't use console commands, etc. So I'm really not sure what's up. If anyone knows how I can fix this issue, that'd be great. Otherwise I'm just going to start a new character. (Which would suck ass because my character is already lvl 62, with all Daedric artifacts)

Mace of molag bal doesnt absorb anything, it does stamina and magic damage, additional to the soul trap effect. At least believing in its german description..

Means it lowers the victims stamina pool and hitpoints with magical damage but neither the stamina nor the health is supposed to be tranfered to the wielder.

Ok, you are right on that one. That was just me being dumb and misreading the description. :/

But what about the Nightingale Blade? It will not absorb health or stamina. Same goes for Keening, which won't absorb anything at all.

I will test other weapons to see if they work properly, but those for-sure do not work.

Did you try to make weapon at the enchanting table with a health tranfer enchantment to check of that works? To find out if the feature is bugged or just the pre made vanilla weapons.

I have a Daedric sword with the absorb health enchantment and that works fine, it seems to only be Keening and the Nightingale Blade.
