1. Description
This mod makes level-scaled rewards from quests be upgraded to their higher versions as you reach the level for those versions.
The items, spells, and sigil stones you get as rewards for many quests in the game are scaled to your level. Some of the these rewards are among the best items in the game but only if you do the quest at a high level. Otherwise, you get stuck with a scaled-down version, often one that is pretty useless later in the game.
For example the Escutcheon of Chorrol shield has a level 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 versions. If you do that quest at level 10 (or 11, 12, 13, or 14), you would normally miss out on the level 15, level 20, and level 25 versions but with this plugin it means that when you reach level 15, if the item is in your inventory, it is upgraded to the level 15 version. Same at level 20 and level 25. You don't miss out on the high-level versions.
Usage
Upon loading your game up for the first time after installing this mod an item called Quest Award Leveller will be automatically added to your inventory, you'll find it in the Miscellaneous area. Clicking on it will allow you to access its options menu which has the following things you can do:
Auto Level: toggle Auto Level on/off (ON by default), when Auto Level is on all levelled items currently in your inventory will be checked to see if they need upgrading when you yourself gain a new level.
Level Finger of the Mountain: toggle levelling of the spell called Finger of the Mountain (OFF by default). Note: the higher versions of this spell are impossible to cast unless you have a mod such as the Unofficial Oblivion Patch that fixes it or use cheats.
Level Wizard's Fury: toggle levelling of the spell called Wizard's Fury (OFF by default).
Level Sigil Stones: toggle levelling of Sigil Stones (OFF by default).
Level Items Now! when clicked any levelled items currently in your inventory will be checked to see if they need upgrading.
Differences between Quest Award Leveller and Quest Award Leveling
-No big scripts running in the background all the time doing mostly nothing.
-You can control all aspects of Quest Award Leveller through its very easy to use inventory item, no worrying about another esp for this or that.
-Supports levelling of the levelled items in the official mods.

7. FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Question. Great! Just what I need another item cluttering up my inventory... Is it alright to get rid of it?
Answer. It sure is, was designed so you could! Just set the options you want and toss it away, if you every want it back again just open the console via the ~ key and type in StartQuest QALStartup and you'll get another Quest Award Leveller added to your inventory shortly.
Q. Well I'm level 30 and all my items are at their maximum level, is it alright to remove/deactivate Quest Award Leveller?
A. Yep, it's perfectly safe to remove/deactivate it, alternatively you could just turn off Auto Level and toss the Quest Award Leveller item away (or use it as a decoration) effectively deactivating it.
Q. Will I lose my levelled up items if I remove Quest Award Leveller?
A. Nope.
