📋 About This Mod
This is a simple patch.
Dragon War and There Is No Umbra share addon nodes on some of their blue fire magic effects. I have went through the meshes and assigned new addon nodes for conflicts. This has to be changed in .esp to prevent warning from engine fixes (which is why I have included a replacer .esp). Obviously it is possible for me to miss some, and it is a workaround to an issue that is easier solved by mod author. But from my limited testing there seems to be no issues with the conflict after I patched the nifs and .esp.
Please let me know if you encounter any issues using this. If it is not necessary/there is another workaround please let me know as well, and I can take down this file. Thanks!
