📋 About This Mod
Description
Dual casting a one-handed bound weapon in vanilla ends up in your left hand. In vanilla, this only affects Bound Dagger and Bound Sword, but other mods that add bound one-handed weapons (Arcanum, Mysticism, etc) are also affected. This is likely unintended behavior, so I went ahead made a little patch for it. This mod is a cut off part from a larger overhaul I am working on.
