📋 About This Mod

Barndisglair (Radiant Doom) was first wielded by Tânaur, a paladin of Torm who lived several centuries ago.  It is a beacon of light and hope which drives back the darkness and is a potent weapon against evil in any form but especially against fiends, undead, and creatures of shadow.

Barndisglair has a magical attack bonus which ranges from +1 to +5 and inflicts bonus Radiant damage which ranges from 1d4 to 2d6 depending on the wielder's character level.  The attack bonus and bonus damage are:

Character Level 1-4:  +1 attack bonus, 1d4 bonus Radiant damage

Character Level 5-8:  +2 attack bonus, 1d6 bonus Radiant damage

Character Level 9-13:  +3 attack bonus, 1d8 bonus Radiant damage

Character Level 14-19:  +4 attack bonus, 1d10 bonus Radiant damage

Character Level 20+:  +5 attack bonus, 2d6 bonus Radiant damage

Note that this progression supports character levels above 12, achievable with certain mods.

In addition to a magical attack bonus and bonus radiant damage it has several other abilities which enhance its effectiveness in combat:

Lethal Weapon: Ignores resistance to Slashing damage.

Improved Critical: The number you need to roll a Critical Hit is reduced by 1 (can stack).

Whirlwind Attack: Strike out at all nearby foes, making separate attack rolls against each target.

Blinding Radiance: This is identical to Lathander's Light provided by the magical mace Blood of Lathander.

Revealing Light: This combines the effects of the Daylight and See Invisibility spells and is automatically activated and usable only in combat.

INSTALLATION

Installation is as for any other PAK file mod.  I install all of my mods manually, and if you choose this method you'll need the information below:

<node id="Module">

<attribute id="UUID" value="81334b92-be5d-4b81-8061-b1fc26569168" type="FixedString" />

</node>

<node id="ModuleShortDesc">

<attribute id="Folder" value="Barndisglair" type="LSString" />

<attribute id="MD5" value="" type="LSString" />

<attribute id="Name" value="Barndisglair" type="LSString" />

<attribute id="UUID" value="81334b92-be5d-4b81-8061-b1fc26569168" type="FixedString" />

<attribute id="Version64" value="36028797018963968" type="int64" />

I don't use either Vortex or BG Mod Manager, so I cannot guarantee that this mod will work with either of those but I don't see why it wouldn't.

FINDING IN GAME

Barndisglair can be found in the tutorial chest in the nautiloid.  If you are already in a playthrough you can summon the tutorial chest using wesslen's excellent Tut

✨ Key Features

Adds a legendary radiant longsword called Barndisglair (Radiant Doom).
Weapon scales in power to the level of its wielder.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Scaling mechanic means the sword stays relevant throughout your playthrough.
  • 114 endorsements and 3,228 downloads show a decent following for a niche weapon mod.
  • Radiant theme fits well for characters focused on light or holy aesthetics.

⚠️ Cons

  • Description is very thin—no info on enchantments, crafting, or how to obtain it.
  • Only one weapon, so if you're looking for a full set or variety, this won't satisfy.
  • Last updated in February 2024, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a level-scaling legendary sword that grows with their character, especially those playing a radiant or holy-themed build. If you prefer weapon packs or need detailed lore and quest integration, this might feel too barebones.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the sword scales with your level, grab it early to maximize its growth potential.
  • Check the mod's comments or posts for any known locations or crafting recipes, as the description doesn't say.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the install to avoid manual file placement issues.
