• Block version modified c0000.hks action script
• The reverse version modifies the c0000.anibnd.dcx file
• The staff version modifies the c0000.hks and regulation.bin files at the same time

When properly merged, this mod is compatible with almost all other mods, as long as the other mods don't completely rewrite the c0000.hks script or completely modify the behavior of Lelana's Double Blades.

**Special Instructions:**
