📋 About This Mod
This makes the mark/branding from Hearts of Stone glow blue and burn permanently for as long as you have it, so it should make your Hearts of Stone playthrough much more interesting than the one that is barely noticeable. Should be compatible with other texture mods as long as they don't remove the mark.
The Concept Artwork/Renders shows the mark as Blue, which is curious because its the only place where its depicted as blue, and I honestly think it looks cooler that way, more magical and mysterious rather than just a red fiery one. Optionally has a version with blue embers coming out of it constantly. Other than the color, it behaves identically to the Hearts of Stone Burning Mark mod.
