ThoriDal The Stars Fury - Legends of Azeroth Armory

Legends say that an ancient race of Elves named \"Sin\'Dorei\" once managed to create a well of unlimited magic power, rivaling with the enrgy of a star itself. Dubbed \"Sunwell\" by its architects, the marvel bathed the golden halls of the isle of Quel\'Danas with lush arcane forces for centuries. As its masters thrived, their powers only matched by their glory, they sought to bind the power of the stars themselves. Among many priceless artifacts, the bow Thori\'dal was created. The mighty weapon roared with arcane might. Capable of generating and firing its own magic ammunition, it was used in countless victorious battles, serving as a conduit for the Sunwell\'s power in defense of its creators\' great nation. History tells not wether the Sin\'Dorei were cast down by their own lust for magic, or by an outside force. All that remains now are the colossal ruins of marvellous cities, haunted by the wailing souls of their downfall\'s witnesses on a world long forgotten. The Sunwell itself has faltered, merely a hollow circle of gold on a marble floor, saluted by the rustling of dark, red velvet curtains. But all was not lost. All things powerful have a destiny, and the Stars\' Fury\'s was not to join the void. After changing hands from millenia to millenia, Thori\'Dal remains a conduit for the Sin\'dorei\'s anger, and those worthy of wielding it may also smite their foes with its celestial wrath. Word goes around that an influent redguard trader named Rohssan has somehow acquired the weapon, and keeps it around her in the small, bottomless chest she retrieved deep down the sea. WARNING : this weapon is part of a contest I am running to continue a bigger mod. If you are very skilled with NifSkope, go read the end of this description. Crafted vertex by vertex, this might just be the most complex bow mod available on the Nexus, althought I\'ll leave that for you to judge. It exploits bow creation techniques to their (mind)breaking point, and allows special effects unseen before on a bow - they are not available to see in the screenshots, I want you to discover them by yourself - which needed weeks to properly set up. Aside from quite amazing standard magic effects on impact, this beast totally does generate and auto-equip its own ammo. It also removes the arrow when you take off the bow, which seemed to make it compatible with UVII\'s shield/weapon on back systems - still, be careful, maybe it\'s just my machine that\'s weird. Oh! And, to balance it, you have to recharge it, otherwise it won\'t fire its shards of comet-y goodness. The model is roughly inspired from the eponymous weapon in World of Warcraft : The Burning Crusade, my favorite expansion in a series of good, old memories... Glad I\'m outta there thought, but the art still haunts you, you know? The music, especially, is hard to forget. Anyway, I had to get Thori\'Dal out of my mind. It\'s done now. CONTEST: As the mod\'s name tells, tis will be a part of a
