📋 About This Mod

This mod was made for my own personal tastes. I loved A Sword Accursed by s0680535, but in most of my playthroughs I found the fact that it was a two handed weapon was too limiting. I was also annoyed, often, by when I'd forget to feed the thing and it'd be weaker than a wooden sword!

This mod alleviates the problem by turning the sword into a one handed weapon, thus allowing you, when desperate, to wield it along with a spell, so you can smack the enemy with it and blow them to kingdom come. Ofc, there are tons of other nifty things about it being one handed. Shields, offhand heals, and...

DUAL WIELDING IT! Yes, that's right, you can now wield two of this bad mofo!

Also, a couple minor tweaks to its speed and power to make it still make sense as a one handed weapon. It won't be as slow or as powerful as the two handed version. Speaking of tweaks, I also tweaked the Sanguine Vigor enchantment, it was a bit much (like, you can't die with it on). I also made all the enchantments learn-able, so now you can put'm on other fun things. Finally, I altered the temper recipe of the chest piece to be a single ebony ingot, and added a temper recipe for the arcane warrior gauntlets (cus there wasn't one). Why make the temper easier? Because really it's just ebony armor with a sweet enchant, no reason to make it hard to temper (yes yes, less lore neatness... but the sword man, the sword!).

And that's it. If you have any questions, feel free to shoot'm my way. According to s0680535, all I needed for permission was to give credit. Well, he made A Sword Accursed, original. Totes that guy. I'm just a pleeb that thought I'd share my version for funsies. Peace!

Requirements:

Skyrim Legendary (or you know, all the DLC's... well you can get away without having Hearthfire...) SKSE (how can you not have this? most recent plz)

Recommended:

Lean Wolf's Better Shaped Weapons (makes for the sexy, but not really required)

P. S. My version number is the version of A Sword Accursed I modified, for ease of understanding going forward.

P. P. S. There's also a dagger version under the optional section. Only need that or the main file. If you do happen to download both, whichever is later in the load order would take priority, so you'd effectively only have one installed. :3
