📋 About This Mod
Adds two new Morningstar weapons to the game.
This mod includes two morningstars, with different appearances and stats. Both weapons cause bleeding damage with every hit, allowing you to slowly drain the enemies' health between strikes. The effect is only applied to enemies that can bleed. The weapons can still be enchanted without losing the bleeding effect.
Both weapons are craftable at a forge, found under 'Steel' category. The basic Morningstar requires level 40 Smithing to craft, and the better version requires level 60 Smithing to craft. Perks are not required for crafting but 'Steel Smithing' perk doubles the improvements of both weapons. The weapons are sometimes used by enemies and sold by merchants. The basic version starts to appear in game after reaching level 10 and the better version at level 20. The weapons are injected into leveled lists with a script.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's ESP-FE, you can safely load it anywhere in your load order, but placing it near other weapon mods helps with consistency.
- Check if you have a mod that overhauls merchant inventories, as it might need a patch to ensure the maces appear.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no manual file placement needed.
