📋 About This Mod

This mod adds two weapons to the game that acts and looks exactly like the Shadow Blade you get from the spell, but the only difference is they don't get removed after long rest, so you can use them as regular swords.

The mod doesn't change the Shadow Blade you get from the spell. It's two (three) individual items. You can also drop them like a regular weapon.

I made two versions, which are both in the mod and you'll find them in the tutorial chest. (use this mod to summon it)

Version 1 does 1d6 (1-6) slashing damage as well as 1d10 (1~10) psychic which is also 2~16 damage.

Version 2 is the regular shadow blade that does 2d8 (2~16) psychic damage.

I didn't change anything else other than make them very rare instead of uncommon, only for aesthetics honestly. The passive is still the same.

With the add-on file:

Version 1 -  3d8 (3~24) psychic damage.

Version 2 - 4d8 (4~32) psychic damage.

If they don't show up in the tutorial chest, use these spawn commands:

Osi. TemplateAddTo("b0dbf5a9-ca18-4298-91d7-d919542cf8a9", GetHostCharacter(), 1, 1);

Osi. TemplateAddTo("97ec14df-85f7-4bfb-92dd-993da72e2214", GetHostCharacter(), 1, 1);
