📋 About This Mod
Restores the fade-in and purple flame effects on the Bound Bow. For some reason Bethesda removed this in VR. All other Bound weapons got to keep it, but not the bow. Poor bow :(
Restores the fade-in and purple flame effects on the Bound Bow in Skyrim VR, which Bethesda removed. A small, focused fix for players who want the original visual flair back on this weapon.
