Bloodskal Blade - Tweaks and Enhancements

Introduction

A few days ago before making this mod, I saw this topic regarding the Bloodskal Blade.

Originally I only thought of fixing its compatibility issues with animation mods, but as I dug deeper, I found more issues:

• [] The item is not disenchantable.

  [] The effects don't work when NPCs are wielding it.

  [] The effect only works on a specific reference, rather than the base ID.

  [] The script contained many unnecessary lines.

  [] The beams don't scale with anything.

  [] There's no limit on how much you can use it, like other enchanted weapons.

  [] Animation mods might be incompatible, since the Vanilla way requires certain animation events.

  As such I decided to adress them.

  The Base Enchantment

  I've changed the base enchantment to balance it a bit:

  • [] The beams now have a cooldown of 5 seconds. This is done as an attempt to prevent de-synch with weapon swings (see known issues) and balancing with other weapons (see enchanting).

    [] The beams now have an optional Magicka cost. This can be toggled (turned on or off) using a console command. This is done for balancing reasons, since it's not possible to add an enchantment recharging mechanic with soul gems (technical limitations).

    [] The beams' damage now scales with your Destruction skill. In addition, Magic Resist values will decrease the damage.

    [] The beams deal increased damage to all Dragon Priests and Miraak.

    []If the beams are cast from the default Bloodskal Blade or a replica of it, they use Stamina instead of Magicka (if the cost is toggled on), scale with Two-Handed at a double rate than when it is applied to other weapons.

  (Dis)enchanting

  The Bloodskal Blade is now disenchantable and the enchantment (called "Bloodskal Strike") can now be put on other weapons. In addition, NPCs are now also able to benefit from the effect.

  For 2H weapons:

  • []Forward and standing power attacks launch a vertical beam.

    []Sideways and backwards power attacks launch a horizontal beam.

    For 1H weapons:

    • []Forward, standing and backwards power attacks launch a vertical beam.

      []Sideways power attacks launch a horizontal beam.

      For ranged weapons:

      []Normal attacks launch a vertical beam.
