📋 About This Mod
This mod adds a dark and powerful sceptre for your necromancer actors and - optionally via Skypatcher - distributes it to NPCs and loots in Skyrim. It is compatible with both vanilla Necromancy in Skyrim SE and the new necromantic arts and spells of the AE DLC and CC content.
Technically, this is a porting to Skyrim of the beautiful Necromancer Scepter model by fjaa3d.
Distribution via SkyPatcher is optional, randomised through levelled lists in the mod plugin and activated in the FOMOD installer. If you wish some specific kind of distribution, let's talk about it in the comments.

-
[]porting of the Genesis 8 model from DAZ to Skyrim SE/AE

]conversion and retouching of the textures[]SMP
[]plugin marked as Light
[]SkyPatcher ini files
[]These are craftable if you are an expert conjurer
Credits for the original models go to fjaa3d. I've got all the required licenses (both the standard and interactive). As such, you cannot directly use the textures and you must have users download this mod if you wish to convert all or some pieces to different bodies: please keep this in mind and check the permissions section (unless, of course, you got the interactive/extended licenses yourself as well).

Even if you only bought and installed the Necromantic Arts CC module, choose the latter.
Q: what is the random chance of distribution?

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community traction with 125 endorsements and nearly 15k downloads.

- Simple concept that adds a unique summoning mechanic to your arsenal.
⚠️ Cons

- Look for user screenshots or videos to see the summoned entities in action before committing.
