✅ Sword Dance:
- ** NEW (and possibly final) version (3. 1. 2) of this mod available...
- ====================================================
- This mod adds 3 powers to your game which should be added automatically.
- Quick Step:
- This power teleports you behind a random hostile NPC nearby. (If there is only one hostile enemy nearby, you will teleport behind him, evading attacks).
- Sword Dance Charge:
- This power (2-hand spell, last for 2 minutes) will be needed to charge Sword Dance. It will also give a 50% speed buff. Sword Dance cannot be used without this.
- Sword Dance:
- With a greatsword or a one-handed sword equipped on the right hand, this power will keep using Quick Step (only targeting hostile actors), and let you automatically attack targets, until all targets have been hit once. Then you will teleport back to where the power was cast, and you will perform a move that summons swords above each target and lunges towards them.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2013, check if you're using Skyrim Legendary Edition or Special Edition; you may need to use a compatibility patch or manually adjust the plugin.
- Try the Quick Step ability in a low-stakes fight first to get the hang of the timing and movement.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other combat mods.
