📋 About This Mod

DAR animation mod that changes the way you and NPCs sheathe bound weapons to a dispel like way, also edited the way some weapons are summoned to fit with 2h weapons better, works with all vanilla bound weapons and also with the bound weapons added by the following mods (they are not requirements):

-Bound Armory Extravaganza

-Animated armoury

-One handed warhammers

-Forgotten Magic Redone SE

-Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul

-Arcanum - a new age of magic

Is not a replacer all done through DAR, does not have a plugin or scripts, should be compatible with everything but if you use animations that look way too different to vanilla these animations will not match; safe to install mid playthrough and safe to uninstall at any moment.
