Maces are a class of weapon found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. They are the slowest of the one-handed weapons, but weapons that deals the most damage of all. Maces are described as one-handed weapons with a long handle and heavy head, which can be sharp, spiked or blunt. They are considered as not so common weapons, with long reach and great damage range. Most maces can be upgraded at the grindstones, which are usually located around blacksmiths. There are different materials of origin and used for updates, starting with iron, the golden middle material is steel, and the strongest material is Dragonbone.

The maces we can come by in Skyrim are very different in shape, capacity of damage, weight, value, options of enchantments or upgrades and its rareness. The damage caused by certain type of mace is based on the current skill of the mace type. This can be improved with gaining higher Two-handed skill levels or by gaining different perks, to make weapon more powerful. Maces are very slow weapons in terms of swing speed in Two-handed weapons, other types are faster, but weaker.
