📋 About This Mod
The Bloodskal Blade has one of the most interesting enchantments in the game, but due to its extremely limited damage it is not very useful. Flat out increasing its damage felt a bit boring so instead I made it reward those who focus on the Two-Handed skill tree.
The damage is increased by:
-
[]The Two-Handed skill level, up to x1. 5 at 100.
[
]The Barbarian perks, up to x2. 0 at 5/5.[]Fortify Two-Handed enchantments and potions.
This follows the same formula as the damage for two-handed weapons, meaning it should scale along with your normal damage and end up at x3. 0 strength (90 damage) at Two-Handed 100 with all the levels of the Barbarian perks. Enchantments and potions will increase this further.
This isn't enough to make it a ranged power-house at higher difficulty levels but it should at least make it useful along with making its power attacks at close range extremely good.
Similarly to the Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes mod, it also makes the following changes:
-
[]Price increased to 1250 (was 800)
[]Critical damage increased to 10 (was 8)
[]Speed increased to 0. 8 (was 0. 75)
- Gains a damage bonus against undead and werewolves, like the silver swords do.
I mostly included this because I'm too lazy to make a compatibility patch and that mod is a must have on my load order.
Compatibility
This is incompatible with any mod that makes changes to the Bloodskal Blade or its enchantment. I made a list of all the existing forms edited by this mod, you can find it in the Articles section.
Might have a degree of soft incompatibility with Perk Overhauls. Your perk mod will still work normally and you will still get some scaling from this mod, but your mileage may vary depending on what the overhaul does with the vanilla Barbarian perks.
If you are using Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes load this mod's .esp file after it.

This small mod tweaks Skyrim's Bloodskal Blade so its unique energy blast enchantment scales with your Two-Handed skill, making the weapon more viable at higher levels. It's a simple, focused fix for players who want the blade to stay relevant without relying on mods that overhaul enchantments.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 194 endorsements and over 15k downloads.
- Directly addresses a common complaint about the Bloodskal Blade's static damage.
- Lightweight and focused—no bloat, just the scaling fix.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Bloodskal Blade, so if you want broader enchantment scaling, look elsewhere.
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the Bloodskal Blade or enchantment mechanics.
For Skyrim players who love the Bloodskal Blade's unique mechanic but hate that its damage falls off at higher levels. If you're a two-handed warrior who wants that energy blast to stay deadly, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a general enchantment overhaul or don't use the blade.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that alter the Bloodskal Blade to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod and check that it overwrites other Bloodskal edits.
- Test the blade's damage on a dummy after installing to see the scaling in action.
