📋 About This Mod

After many requests, this is a continuation of my Lightning Longsword mod with the stats applied to finesse weapons. You can download individual weapons or the all in one pack.

You can find these in the Mindflayer tutorial chest and by killing Ansur. If you've already looted the chest and/or looted Ansur after killing him and don't want to use the script extender you'll need the Tutorial Chest Summoning mod since I haven't implemented a way to summon the weapons myself.

NOTE: Using Lightning Strike on a save then reloading that save will remove the minor animation bug where your character stays in place for a bit! This is more of a game issue than the mod itself so there is no real fix yet :(
