📋 About This Mod
A Simple EFX mod that replaces the spirit level color efx. A brighter emissive is used for the spirit aura, and lightning is added on top of the spirit aura. The lightning is in both the colors of the active spirit level, and in black because black lightning looks cool.
TLDR: Brighter glow. Has Spirit color lightning. Also has black lightning.
VERSION 1. 2:
Updated valor version.
VERSION 1. 1:
added iai and spirit slash trails. idk how to EPV so its just all 4 colors lol
added separate valor version for NFH's valor mod. i personally use this mod so why not make a version for it
I will expand this pack to include the other LS actions(like helm breaker, sheathe, and trails) eventually when i learn to modify EFX better.
