📋 About This Mod
No scripts, dependencies, or other requirements. (Very helpful for ENB users, btw).
Everything in Red is optional and able to be used by itself.
The FOMOD has everything too, really easy to install with it.
Combine this with my other mod Remove Screen FX for icing on the cake (It compliments this very nicely).

Dawnbreaker Enchantment
-Included in "Remove Weapon Glows", so it's not necessary if using that.
-Dawnbreaker's Fire Enchantment, not the internal glow or wisps.
-Internal Glow and Wisps are another option in the loose files.
"On Fire" Effects
-Turns off "On Fire" shrouding. It's not a membrane, but shares records with them. So I've provided an option.
