📋 About This Mod

Adds in a new enchanted Katana (1 and 2 hand variants) closely based on the Vanilla Ice Katana from the 2D flash RPG Dragonfable made by Artix Entertainment.

Schematics uncovered from the ruins of an Akaviri outpost during an excavation in the later half of the Reman dynasty. With its origins recorded with scrolls found with the designs. Speaking of the rampage of a Dragon and ruler of a a remote volcanic island off the southern coast of Akavir.

Long ago a primordial Fire Dragon had gone mad,  in millennia past he was the island's ruler, protector and even worshiped as a god. This once divine guardian and ruler was now burning the cities his of own subjects leaving only cinders, ash and fear. Survivors sought a weapon of the Kamal ice demons to combat the dragon.

After their long journey to the frozen wastes of the "Snow Hell" Kamal they had found the weapon they were searching for, A blade simply called "The Frozen Claymore", a legendary weapon of its time. But after a battle with the weapon's guardian it was shattered, leaving them with only the shards.

The shards later reforged into the Vanilla Ice Katana was instrumental in slaying the mad wyrm. Although the original was lost, its design and instructions on how to replicate its power, although weaker were passed on.

And use whichever keyword patching system you find works best for you. Two examples being Keyword Compatibility Framework, and the Weapon Keyword Synthisis patcher.

UPDATE: New Version: Weapon Pack variants expansion, Now includes a Wakazashi and Tanto version (Shortsword and Dagger) of the katanas, twinblade, Naginata (polearm), and Scythe. For twinblade animations I suggest this mod : Here

Crafting: Unlocked, and Upgraded using the Arcane Blacksmith Perk, both weapons share identical crafting requirements of 2 stalhrim, 2 quicksilver ingots, 1 filled grand soulgem, and 1 frostsalts. Requiring a single piece of stalhrim to temper at a grindstone.

Enchanting: Cannot be enchanted and its enchantment cannot be learned as it has a unique one. Causing both frost damage and reducing a struck target's frost resistance. (Numbers? idk to be honest I forgot)

Balance: Relatively powerful and meant for Mid to Late game, higher damage than stalhrim weapons and a custom enchant, but cannot be disenchanted and given a stronger one. (unless you use a mod that allows removing enchantments, like the disenchantment font in Legacy of the Dragonborn, Elianora's Home in a Hat, etc), Although it
