📋 About This Mod
Keening and Sunder Unleashed
These legendary weapons were forged eons ago to control the powers of a god's heart. Lore has it that without the right gauntlet, they will kill you simply by touching them. ... Though they don't exactly look as if that's case normally. This mod give's them the aura they deserve.
Keening: Energy flows and a bright glow envelops it's glassy blade.
Sunder: Volatile energy crackles from it's head and arcs along it's handle. The vent on the side now glows as well.
Pluginless replacer that uses vanilla texture paths. Vanilla/MGE XE version is bump mapped. Uses PikachunoTMs' improved meshes.
Some particle effects may not work correctly in OpenMW unfortunately.
This mod is a prelude to Bump It Up - Weapons, keep your eyes peeled!
