Illusion enchantments benefit from illusion perks, destruction enchantments benefit from destruction perks - for example having frost damage bonuses from destruction will make your frost enchantments stronger. In fact it IS possible to play an archivist/artificer it turns out.Д®nchantments, despite being enchantments ARE still linked to their native school.
