Better Volendrung and Mace of Molag Bal

Volendrung and the Mace of Molag Bal have, unfortunately, always been exceedingly lackluster and are quickly outscaled. This is a problem, as there ends up being very few viable Blunt weapons for endgame use compared to Blade weapons. In fact, Cyradiil is so utterly devoid of Blunt weapons you have to go all the way to the Shivering Isles to find something viable in Shadowrend or Nerveshatter.

This mod fixes that by making the Blunt Daedric Quest weapons actually good!

This mod aims to keep the weapons balanced from an endgame perspective and does not change the level requirement for acquiring these weapons. They are admittedly overpowered if you get them as early as possible, but I would argue that players are unlikely to accidently stumble upon these quests at exactly level 10 and 17 anyway.

Volendrung

Base damage: 30.

Paralyses for 3 seconds.

Damages Health by 20 points.

Number of uses: 40.

Base damage increased from 20 to 30, making it the (rightfully) hardest-hitting weapon in the game.

The original and pitiful Drain Health enchantment has been changed to Damage Health by 20 points.

The number of uses before it needs to be recharged has been changed from 16 to 40. This is frankly to make it less annoying.

Mace of Molag Bal

Base damage: 28.

Absorbs Health by 10 points.

Absorbs Magicka by 20 points.

Number of uses: 100.

Changes:

Base damage increased from 25 to 28.

The original Absorb Strength enchantment has been changed to Absorb Health by 10 points, finally making it an appropriate weapon for the Daedric Prince of vampirism.

The original Absorb Magicka effect has been buffed from 5 points to 20.

The number of uses before it needs to be recharged has been changed from 44 to 100.
