Ace's Warlock Gear
Version: 1.3

Description
===========
Adds wearable warlock items such as long ribbon-wrapped horns, protruding back spikes, runed pauldrons,
and arm wrapping ribbons. Based on a creature from the great mod: The Lost Spires.

*V1.2 and 1.3 adds aditional items - see below

Location
========
Items can be found in the Imperial City Market District, in a chest behind a bush, beside the Best Defense.

Details
=======
Version 1.0 - 1.1
The items are available as either amulet or tail slot, with the exception of the armbands.
I've broken down the items into many parts for better customisation - for those of you
without NifSkope :P All items are now compatible with Robert's Seamless Male Body and Exnem's
Female Eyecandy. I've added brief lettering to the end of each item name to let you know which
body mod it was intended for, example:
(A) - amulet slot, so you can still wear other armour
(T) - tail slot, can still wear other armour pieces
(Beast) - means that it won't clip when worn on argonians,khajiit or orcs
BAB/Exnem/ROB - made for whichever is listed, if none are shown then it's universally compatible.
*ROBERT's users can simply equip anything they want, but females need to watch for these accronyms*

*The ribbons on the horns and armbands are now visible from both sides

Version 1.2
- Added a skull helm to the chest, with two variants (with or without a face mask). It takes up the hair slot, just like a normal helmet, but is not considered armor and has no stats.
- Also added a wearable back totem, with a trophy head on it, takes up the amulet slot, but feel free to change it to another slot in the editor or with NifSkope

***IMPORTANT***
Shivering Isles is required if you wish to use the helm, as it uses textures that are only present in this expansion. The mod, however, is not reliant on the expansion, so you may use any other item if you do not own Shivering Isles.
Equipping the helm without the expansion will simply cause a large exclamation mark to appear in place of the helm, or a ctd, due to the missing texture. Simply unequip the helm and stash it somewhere. :P
***IMPORTANT***

Version 1.3
- By request I have added a playable Xivilai left arm, for Exnems as well as leg ribbons

Note: The arm takes up the Upper Body and the Hands slot, so in order to use any clothing with this item, you'll need to copy it into the .nif file using Nifskope's Copy Branch feature. It was the only practical way to make the arm available by removing the one it replaces.

Install
=======
*This mod does NOT require The Lost Spires to work, it is self-contained. However, I strongly urge
you to check it out, as it was the inspiration for my work here.
*If you're using a new version, simply install over the old one, and continue playing, the old items have not been edited, and the new items will appear in the chest.

1. Extract all files into your Oblivion\Data\ folder.
2. Check "Ace's Warlock Gear.esp" in OBMM (or Oblivion Launcher)
3. Check above for item location, and enjoy. :)

Uninstall
=========
1. Start OBMM (or Oblivion Launcher) and uncheck "Ace's Warlock Gear.esp".
2. Delete the files/folders listed below.
3. Uninstallation of this mod will not affect The Lost Spires mod in any way, if you are currently using it.

Remove these directories, and any subfolders/files within.
