📋 About This Mod
This mod adds:
3 extra rune slots
+300 Armor Piercing
+65% Critical Hit Damage
+35% Critical Hit Chance
+10% Chance to cause Burning
+20% to cause Bleeding
+20% Exp for killing monsters
+50% Weapon Durability
OBS:
1. This mod can make the weapon really strong so it's recommended that you use the highest difficulty possible with mods that will increase the difficulty.
2. Note that if you acquired the weapon before installing the mod you won't be able to use the extra 3 rune slots, to fix that simply delete your Aerondight and add a new one through console commands.
3. Due to game limitations putting 6 runes into the weapon will make so it won't have any glow, you can fix that either by not using more than 3 runes or by installing a mod like Sword FX.
4. If you want the weapon level to scale to your current level you'll need a different mod.
