📋 About This Mod

Donations are welcome but -only- from those in a comfortable position to do so.

Replacers - no standalone versions planned.

Uses only vanilla assets so this should be compatible with any retextures.

Reshapes the shield into a sort of heater shape. Alt version has spike! Because.... Thorns...??

Unrar that file into:

I am not taking request at this time.

So if you ask for AIO, different versions, adjustments, or other requests, the answer will be no. ❤️
