Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Upgrades

Prelate's Mace is improved at a grindstone with one Refined Moonstone per improvement. The Elven Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

Item tier.png Weapon Levels

Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.

Prelate's Mace has the same damage at every character level.

Wielder

The Prelate's Mace belongs to Knight-Paladin Gelebor, one of the last Snow Elves. The mace looks like an Elven Mace. Gelebor carries it as the sentinel of the Chantry of Auri-El, the old temple of his people. He has guarded the Chantry for thousands of years.

Gelebor waits at the wayshrine in Darkfall Cave during Touching the Sky, in the Dawnguard questline. He greets visitors calmly. "I am Knight-Paladin Gelebor. Welcome to the Great Chantry of Auri-El." He knows at once why the Dragonborn and Serana have come. Every visitor in his long watch has come for Auriel's Bow.

Gelebor's Story

The Chantry was once a place of peaceful worship. The Betrayed, the twisted Falmer, swept in without warning and killed everyone they found. Gelebor led a small band of paladins against them, but they were no match for the sheer numbers. The Betrayed then stormed the Inner Sanctum, where Gelebor believes they corrupted his brother.

His brother is Arch-Curate Vyrthur. Gelebor asks the Dragonborn to kill him in exchange for Auriel's Bow. "The kinship between us is gone," he explains. Gelebor cannot do it himself. Leaving the wayshrines unguarded would break his sacred duty as a Knight-Paladin of Auriel.

Gelebor also rejects the common name of his people. "I prefer snow elf. The name Falmer usually holds a negative meaning to most travelers." After Touching the Sky, he stays at his post and makes Sunhallowed Elven Arrows from ordinary Elven arrows.
