I AM THE BONE OF MY SWORD
STEEL IS MY BODY AND FIRE IS MY BLOOD
I HAVE CREATED OVER A THOUSAND BLADES
UNKNOWN TO DEATH
NOR KNOWN TO LIFE
HAVE WITHSTOOD PAIN TO CREATE MANY WEAPONS
YET THOSE HANDS WILL NEVER HOLD ANYTHING
SO AS I PRAY...
UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS

~EMIYA SHIROU



Description
===========
A weapon summoning race based on the Faker, Archer from the Visual Novel Fate/Stay Night.


Details
=======
A robotic race that allows the "projection" of custom weapons and shields from known modders of oblivion, as well as weapons within Oblivion Lore. EAch weapon is ranked from D to EX and higher levels require more mp and alteration skill. Almost all weapons have an enchantment and/or script effect.

As a Faker AND robotic race, the race also has a few powers I thought to add.

~NOTE
THIS IS JUST THE BETA! All you see here is just the bare backbone of the mod. Many updates such as custom shader effects, sounds, more weapons and armor, spells, and the Reality Marble will be done in future updates. In addition, many things in the mod (such as durability of weapons and enchantments are subject to change!)

IF ANY MODDERS WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE THEIR WEAPON/SHIELD MODS INTO UBW, FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME HERE IN TESNEXUS OR AT MY EMAIL(my list is only half full).
YOU WILL OFCOURSE BE CREDITED FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION :)




RACE Abilities
===============
~Strengthen Legs1: Enables a Super jump that allows you to hop over gates and passages (based on PJ's telvanni lift).

~Strengthen Legs2: Gives 300 spd for 15 sec. Good if you want to get from A to B in a pinch.

~The Unlimited Blade Works Chant (1-8)
Each chant will not only give you a 30 to 2min buff, but will also increase your mp max for a short amount of time, enabling you to summon the stronger weapons. Each chant is 100mp more than the previous, then you must say the chants in succession to recieve all the buffs (NOTE: The 8th chant, "UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS", does nothing for right now. I still have yet to make the reality marble AND the spell script associated with it).

~Nine Lives Blade Works
Does 800 Damage on touch. Can only be cast once a day.

~Summon Blade Atronach
Summons a Large, Metal Atronach that will fight with you for 300 sec.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
The Blade Atronach has been known to attack anyone it sees, except the player. Only summon it when you absolutely need back up.

-A summoned shield will disappear if you summon a weapon. Be sure to summon weapons first THEN shields.

-Yes. My voice acting sucks ballz. If you don't like the sounds, just delete the wave files in the Oblivion/data/sounds/FX/UBW folder.
