Let's face it, the base red glow for Damage and Absorb effects is terrible. Having all the elemental damages already visually enchanted with DarkTyrian / acidrain226 mods, using a Damage or Absorb weapon just seemed lame. I wouldn't use them simply because they lacked that appealing aesthetic quality.

So, I took a look at what acidrain did and decided to change the way these effects looked. To make them cooler! :)

Just put this in your Oblivion\Data directory and activate like you would any other mod.

Original credit (for the idea) goes to DarkTyrian, and I used acidrain226's Visually Enchanted Shock 2 (Alternate) as a base reference point for the enchantment effect.

This mod should only effect changes to the glow effect on weapons. The enchant itself is: effectEnchantDestruction under Object Window --> Miscellaneous --> EffectShader. For those who want to mess around with the enchantment effects :).

If there are any unintended side effects or bugs, post em here and I'll see what I can do to remedy them.

Enjoy!

Note: the color may seem a little "washed out" in daylight (I'm using HDR, so that may be the reason), and it will probably look a little pinkish, the current version should keep that to a minimum, but to get the best look, dark places and dungeons will provide the most stark and brilliant contrast.

Edit: Added a second download for this effect with particles, adds something of a blood drop effect and the pulse effect is a little more noticable from minimum to maximum.
