📋 About This Mod
The Sword of Jyggalag is one of the rewards of finishing the Shivering Isles expansion and it's pretty bad, especially for what is essentially a daedric artifact.
This mod improves the health and damage of all versions of the sword and adds a powerful shock damage enchantment based on Jyggalag's "Jyggalag's Supremacy" spell. All versions have 75 uses.
Here's how the weapons stats look now (only stats that I've changed will be displayed here):
1-5 version: Health: 400, Damage: 18| Enchantment: Shock Damage : 4 points in 8 ft area. 6-8 version: Health: 600, Damage: 20| Enchantment: Shock Damage: 8 points in 8 ft area. 9-11 version: Health: 800, Damage: 22| Enchantment: Shock Damage: 12 points in 8 ft area. 12-14 version: Health: 1000, Damage: 24| Enchantment: Shock Damage: 16 points in 8 ft area. 15-17 version: Health: 1200, Damage: 26| Enchantment: Shock Damage: 20 points in 8 ft area. 18+ version: Health: 1400, Damage: 28| Enchantment: Shock Damage: 24 points in 8 ft area.
There's an alternate version that changes the enchantment to deal 5-30 shock damage, based on what version the weapon is, with no area effect. It has the same number of uses as the main version.
There's also an alternate version that changes the enchantment to deal 3-18 shock damage, based on what version the weapon is, in a 15 ft area. It has the same number of uses as the main version.
The level 18+ version has the same damage as Umbra but has twice as much health.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes the Sword of Jyggalag hit much harder, so you can wreck enemies that used to shrug off your attacks.
- Tiny download and simple install—no bloat, just the sword buffed.
- 17 endorsements from 437 downloads shows some players found it useful.
⚠️ Cons
- Only touches the Sword of Jyggalag—if you wanted other Shivering Isles gear buffed, this isn't it.
- Last updated in 2017, so it might not play nice with newer mods or patches.
- No detailed description means you're flying blind on exact numbers—could be overpowered or underwhelming.
This is for players who love the Sword of Jyggalag's look but feel it's too weak for late-game content. It's also for completionists who want to use the sword as a viable endgame weapon without relying on other mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Shivering Isles expansion installed, as the Sword of Jyggalag is from that DLC.
- If you're using a mod manager, drop the file into your load order and activate it—no need to merge or patch.
- Test the sword on a tough enemy to see if the boost feels right; if it's too strong, you might need to tweak difficulty settings.
