📋 About This Mod
Adds a new craftable and temperable glowing and pulsating 1H and 2H sword or Ebony Blade (or Stormfang) replacer.
-Available in 4k or 2k.
-ESPFE plugin so it won't count towards the 255 plugin limit.
-Textures saved in BC7 for performance and to reduce file size.
The standalone version has stats slightly superior to the dragonbone greatsword and unique crafting and temper recipes.
You will need the daedric smithing perk to craft it.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 461 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
- ESPFE plugin means it won't eat your plugin limit—nice for load order hoarders.
- BC7 textures keep performance and file size in check, so you get the glow without the lag.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
- The standalone version's stats are only slightly better than dragonbone, so it's not a game-changer for min-maxers.
- If you use mods that alter the Ebony Blade or Stormfang, the replacer versions could conflict—check your load order.
For Skyrim players who want a flashy, glowing greatsword that's easy on performance and doesn't eat plugin slots. If you're into daedric aesthetics and want a new craftable option or a fresh look for the Ebony Blade, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a lore-friendly or balanced weapon—this is pure visual flair with a slight stat bump.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an ESPFE, you can drop it anywhere in your load order, but placing it after other weapon mods avoids any potential conflicts.
- If you're using the standalone version, make sure you have the Daedric Smithing perk before trying to craft it at a forge.
- For the replacer versions, double-check that no other mod is overwriting the Ebony Blade or Stormfang meshes—use a mod manager to see conflicts.
