Cursed Daedric Armor

is a unique set of Daedric Armor. The set is superior to standard Daedric Armor in terms of both protection and weight, is considered Light Armor, and is enchanted, but does not have a helmet and a shield.

Background
Forging Daedric Armor under an eclipse renders the set cursed, significantly changing its properties and enchanting it with powerful but harmful effects, which can handicap the wearer. The armor is lighter and more durable, but it said that the voices and screams of the Daedra are heard louder when wearing the set, unlike the default Daedric Armor. Alternatively, those practicing Daedric Magic can obtain a cursed set via an incantation. A Daedra Heart is required, as with the forging.

Smithing
Cursed Daedric Armor can be upgraded using Ebony Ingots. The smith, however, must be knowledgeable about improving enchanted items.
