📋 About This Mod
This is a basic model swap. It swaps out the Halberd model for a Scythe. Only the model is changed.
I made it for personal use but perhaps it fits your character as well.
Ideally it would be selectable as its own spell, I tried but I am not one of life's scripters.
As this is just a model swap, it will be compatible with any mods that change the spell.
I recommend using with something like Spells Enhanced - Spiritual Weapon(note that that one is a fairly old mod that contains mod fixer, though) or any other mod which improves the Spiritual Weapon spell, as the base game spell is not particularly useful compared to other summons.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a clean model swap
- Small but active community (37 endorsements, 695 downloads)
- Recently updated (November 2025), so likely compatible with current patch
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the halberd model—if you don't use Spiritual Weapon, this mod does nothing for you
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind on the scythe's look
- Limited to one weapon type—don't expect any other changes
For Baldur's Gate 3 players who want their Spiritual Weapon to look like a grim reaper's tool. If you're a cleric or paladin who casts Spiritual Weapon often, this is a nice flavor addition. Skip if you want more substantial visual overhauls or if you rarely use that spell.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the .pak file in your Mods folder (usually Documents/Larian Studios/Baldur's Gate 3/Mods) and enable it in the in-game mod manager.
- If you're using other mods that alter Spiritual Weapon, load order might matter—put this one last to ensure the model swap takes effect.
- Since it's a visual-only mod, it won't affect your save file, so you can install or remove it anytime without breaking anything.
