📋 About This Mod

Description

BladeSeverance: Blade of Darkness or alternatively titled Blade: The Edge of Darkness, was the OG Dark Souls of its time. Released in the early 2000s, It was a spanish game that developed somewhat of a cult-classic fandom over the years, due to its revolutionary combat system, gory visuals, and compelling epic journey.

This sword was the final weapon, a sacred relic, destined to be wielded by the chosen one who would vanquish the darkness once and for all.

Location:

Under the Temple of Mara, in Riften, there is a basement, and in it, there is a hidden trapdoor that only the chosen ones are supposed to find.

It is said that the Temple of Mara, was built to guard the entrance to the real secret temple of Mara/Ianna, where the sword awaits for the chosen one.

About the sword:

  • []It's one handed, but on equip, a power can be called to configure it, and it can become two handed

    []It can change the color of its enchantment from blue (original) to gold, or just nothing at all

    []It uses the bloodskal beam mechanic, so power attacks release waves of energy. As optional feature, if you also have my Bloodskal Beams mod, the beam mechanics can offer up some extra customization.

    []The Light of Ianna is also a sword effect that causes the sword to carry a light that can help its carrier to venture into dark places. IT can be switched on and off thouth the customizing power.

Credits

RebelAct Studios made the original game which served as inspiration for he sword. I'm not sure who holds the rights these days.

All models and textures and scripts were originally created by me, and the scripting works is also the help legacy of my lost friend GenioMaestro who taught me everything I know about scripts.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it'll handle the file placement automatically.
  • Check the in-game crafting or console commands to find the sword; many weapon mods require you to craft it at a forge or use the console to add it.
