About this mod
Adds a version of Volendrung that is unique and lore-accurate. Not only does it have unique combat properties and a unique enchantment system that caters to blacksmith builds, but it also disappears and reappears at random, much like it did in the legends of old.

If you're like me, then you are a little bummed at how basic Skyrim's Daedric artifacts are. That's why I present to you : "Lore-Accurate Volendrung," a first of multiple Daedric Artifact mods I'll be releasing.
Volendrung will dynamically vanish and reappear, just as it did in the legends of old. This will happen randomly and there is no warning or foresight as to when this will happen. But on average it will be gone for 3 times as long as it is found. However, Volendrung more than makes up for this downside in its combat abilities. Since it is an impressively hefty weapon, it has many unique properties that no other weapon has.
When striking opponents, there is a chance that they will go flying (12.5%). This chance is doubled to 25% if it was a power-attack, and guaranteed if it was a critical hit (sneak attack, critical charge etc.) Power-attacks that launch opponents will send them extra far as well!
If the opponent blocks a power-attack from Volendrung, then there is a chance to smash their shield apart or disarm their weapon, depending on if they blocked with a shield or a weapon (50% chance for shield and 25% chance for weapons)
If you hit an opponent with a power attack while they are drawing a bow, then their bow will be shattered into pieces.
Beyond these unique combat abilities, however, there are other properties Volendrung has that are useful:
Since the weapon was created by a master blacksmith (one of the greatest to have ever lived), Volendrung cannot be tempered by the player, as it would be pointless to try and improve a master's work. Instead, Volendrung grants a 15% bonus to tempering weapons and armor. In addition to this, when you craft a weapon at the forge while it is equipped, Volendrung will be granted a unique enchantment, "Flame of the Forge." Flame of the Forge's potency will be greater and greater depending on the value of the item created (jewelry is exempt however). Even if Volendrung is already enchanted with Flame of the Forge, it will automatically detect a higher-valued item and re-enchant with a higher potency. Once Volendrung disappears, however, the enchantment will be reset and will need to be reapplied once you find it again. Flame of the Forge does pure fire damage, and if you are a talented enough blacksmith, its unfathomably hot flame will smite all who oppose you.
Do note that there are many fail-safes in place to prevent the weapon from being lost. It will always reappear in the last place it disappeared from, but if it is in a place it would be unlikely or impossible for the player to recover it from, then it will be placed back into the player's inventory. The best place to store it when not in use is in your house, of course. But keep in mind that it may have vanished next time you go to get it and you'll have to wait for it to reappear!
If you like this mod, then stay tuned for a really cool and unique Windshear mod I'll be releasing this week!
