Veraxanima - Truth of the Soul is a standalone weapon mod for Skyrim Special Edition, ported from Oblivion by Gizmodian.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community reception with 499 endorsements and over 11k downloads, so it's been tried and tested.
- Easy to get your hands on: craft it at any forge or buy it from blacksmiths in major cities—no quest hunting.
- Both one-handed and two-handed versions give you flexibility depending on your build.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods.
- Base damage is on the lower side (11 for 1H, 20 for 2H), so it won't outclass endgame gear without smithing upgrades.
- Being a port, it may have minor visual or animation quirks compared to native SSE weapons, though optimized meshes help.
For Skyrim SE players who want a lore-friendly, standalone weapon with a classic Oblivion feel, especially those who like crafting or buying gear early. It's also great for collectors who want a unique sword without heavy quest requirements. Skip if you're looking for overpowered weapons or complex new mechanics—this is a straightforward addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a standalone weapon, you can craft it at any forge under the Elven category—no smithing perk needed, just the materials.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it as a regular mod and activate the .esp; load order shouldn't conflict with most mods.
- Check the blacksmiths in Whiterun, Riverwood, or Solitude early on to buy the sword if you don't want to craft it.
