📋 About This Mod
This mod alters the enchantment on the BiPolar Blade and the Mace of Slurring to make the weapons not as useless. The BiPolar Blade is a nice looking weapon with pretty good stats but unfortunately its enchantment is not only entirely useless, but actually potentially hazardous to use; if you attack a humanoid with it, it may count as a crime due to the calming effect of the blade and you will accrue a bounty even if you are attacking in self defence. With this mod, the enchantment becomes "Cast When Used" instead of "Cast On Strike" so while it's still pretty much useless, you can at least use the sword itself without worry. The Mace of Slurring is also a pretty interesting looking item with decent stats but a completely useless enchantment. With this mod, the "Drain Speechcraft" ability becomes an "Absorb Speechcraft" ability instead, so you could have some niche use swinging it at summons prior to speaking with a merchant or something. I was going to alter the Lich Robe as well but proud2Bnerd already made a great mod addressing it, so go download his mod too if you want.
This mod requires Tribunal, obviously.
A small Morrowind mod that rebalances the BiPolar Blade and Mace of Slurring, making their enchantments more useful. With 32 endorsements and last updated in 2016, it's a niche fix for players who want those artifacts to be viable.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses two underwhelming artifacts, making them worth using
- Small and focused—doesn't touch anything else, so it's low-risk
- Community-tested (32 endorsements) for a niche fix
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016—may not be compatible with newer Morrowind mod setups
- Only affects two items, so if you don't use them, it's pointless
For Morrowind players who like to collect and use unique artifacts but find the BiPolar Blade and Mace of Slurring disappointing. If you're a completionist or role-player who wants those items to be viable, this is for you. Skip if you don't care about those specific weapons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that alter the same artifacts to ensure the changes take effect.
- If you're using a mod manager, install it like any other mod; otherwise, just drop the files into your Data Files folder and activate the .esp in the launcher.
- Since it's from 2016, test it with your current mod list—if you have other artifact overhauls, check for conflicts.
