I made a few changes to Hopesfire, to make it more convenient, and to bring it in line with Sunder for use as a main weapon. Hopesfire will now use "Chop" if "Always Use Best Attack" is On. I wouldn't call this a cheat mod, as the changes are fairly minor.

1) I changed the damage range for the chop attack so you'll use chop if "Always Use Best Attack" is On. (Specifically, I increased the minimum damage for Chop from 30 to 40.) I'm not sure, but Chop appears to be slightly faster than Slash.

2) I increased the charge and durability so it doesn't wear out/run out of juice after a few attacks. 

3) Finally, I added a small "Weakness To Shock effect (30%) because I felt like it.

Note: This is NOT a texture mod, all screenshots are taken with MGSO v3 installed.

Note2: You will need to repair and recharge Hopesfire after installing this mod. The charge and durability values are saved in your savegame. Nothing I can do about that.

Naturally, Tribunal is required. Tested on the Steam GOTY version.
