Description
===========
This Mod adds a shader to enchanted arrows, and light to missed light arrows.

Light arrows have a light that follows them. It's range is based on the product of the magnitude and duration of the light effect.
By default, the light following the arrow will disapear with the arrow. If want the effect to persist for longer, type at the console:

set aaaArrowsQuestLight.autokillarrows to 1

The arrows will disappear, but the effect will stay. When this is set, you can cast the Kill All Light Arrows lesser power to turn off all light arrows(that are more than 3 seconds old)

Other effects have shaders:

Fire looks like fire, frost looks like frost, shock looks like blue sparks.

Damage, Drain, Disintagrate, Absorb are red.

Soul Trap is purple.

Illusion has green smoke.

Light has a green glowing trail.

Anything else has a cool effect (You will have to find an arrow that does something else before you can see what it is...)

Note that you can set the quest scripts to run less often using fQuestDelayTime by typing in the console:

set AAAArrowsQuestDamages.fQuestDelayTime to
set AAAArrowsQuestLight.fQuestDelayTime to

where is how often, in seconds, the script should run.
In this case, the effect will not apply immediatly when the arrow is fired; it could take up to the delay time; however, the scripts will take less CPU.
