Vivec's Muatra

This mod gives Vivec his unique shield based on concept art and his spear, Muatra from Tamriel_Data. Other minor changes include:

-Reduced magicka so he will be quicker to switch to melee in a fight

-Slightly reduced base attack values to make up for added damage from a weapon

-A Gah-Julan and a chitin pauldron, and a bonemold bracer added to his inventory

-Scale set to 1. 20

Vivec's shield now has constant spell absorption, resist common and blight disease, and fortify attack. Regarding Muatra, the (in)famous Lesson 14 of the 36 Lessons of Vivec has the following to say:

"Vivec wept as he slew all those around him with his terrible new spear. He named it MUATRA, which is Milk Taker, and even the Chimeri mystics knew his fury. Anyone struck by Vivec at this time turned barren and withered into bone shapes."

My interpretation of turning barren and withering into bone shapes is damage strength, agility, endurance, and fatigue, and disintegrate armor and weapon on strike.

Vivec is also now set to respawn, as he explicitly explains to the player that he can do so any time he wants to:

Player: to be a god[?]

Vivec: [...] It is a bit like being at once awake and asleep. Awake, I am here with you, thinking and talking. Asleep, I am very, very busy. Perhaps for other gods, the completely immortal ones, it is only like that being asleep. Out of time. Me, I exist at once inside of time and outside of it.

It's nice never being dead, too. When I die in the world of time, then I'm completely asleep. I'm very much aware that all I have to do is choose to wake. And I'm alive again. Many times I have very deliberately tried to wait patiently, a very long, long time before choosing to wake up. And no matter how long it feels like I wait, it always appears, when I wake up, that no time has passed at all. That is the god place. The place out of time, where everything is always happening, all at once.

Installation

Place the .esp file in your Data Files folder. Activate the plugin in your launcher or your organizer of choice.

Compatibility

This mod is compatible with mesh and/or texture replacers. This mod is not compatible with anything that alters the vanilla Vivec asset, which is a creature with the ID vivec_god. This includes inventory, stats, or AI changes. I'd be willing to work on patches if desired.
