📋 About This Mod
When you hit something with Soul Trap spell or enchantments, the actor will simply glow in purple aura which makes it difficult to distinguish if the effect is applied and whether it expires or not. This is particularly noticeable in the case of Soul Trap spell. In reality, Soul Trap effect has a particular hit effect but the model is broken. This simple mod fixes the model, enabling the visual to be played in-game. The hit effect will work for all Soul trap effect, including spell and enchantments. //Installation// Drop the file Skyrim main folder. //Uninstallation// Just delete the .nif file and it\'s done.
