📋 About This Mod
I was disappointed with the options you got with the vanilla aetherial forge, there wasn\'t even a single weapon. so I decided to add a few good weapons to the list. This mod adds: -Aetherial Blades: 10 points of shock damage, shocks have a chance of stunning enemies. -An Aetherial War Hammer: The sheer power of this hammer can send enemies flying. -An Aetherial War Axe: Shocks for 20 damage and absorbs 30 points of magicka -An Aetherial Crossbow: May shock enemies into paralysis for 5 seconds. -Aetherial Gauntlets: Creates a barrier that protects against both magic and physical attack. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mod requires Dawnguard If you have any suggestions or ideas for new Aetherial items please leave them in the comments. Also if anybody knows how I can make arrows never run out (not by editing the bow) please send me a personal message.
