Flame Blade and Shadow Blade VFX Replacers

🔥 Flames for the Flame God! Shadows for the Shadow Throne! 🕷️ 

Replaces the visuals for the Shadow Blade and the Flame Blade with ones made more of actual shadow and fire. Comes in two separate paks in case you only want to replace one and not the other.

Shadow Blade’s new visuals effect both the spell obtained via leveling up and also the ring that gives you the ability to summon one.

Flame Blade’s new material and vfx effect all three different of versions of it, with the level 2, 4, and 6 versions each using their appropriate base model.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Flame Blade's vfx only get applied when it is summoned via casting the Flame Blade spell. This is vanilla game behavior. Using the Script Extender console or EasyCheat to spawn the weapon directly into your inventory will cause it to not have its proper vfx.
