About this mod Machine translation
KYE Light and Shadow adds unique shadow magic and sun magic interactions to the Know Your Enemy resistance and weakness system.
NPCs with existing KYE traits are modified to interact with shadow and sun effects; NPCs added by the Shadow Spell Package will also gain KYE traits.
KYE Light and Shadow - For Your Enemies is an expansion that expands KYE's excellent, trait-based resistance and vulnerability system to include additional assets from the Shadow Spell Package.

New abilities were added to shadow atronachs so that they receive KYE traits.
Added new features unique to these atronachs, similar to the original KYE Fire/Frost/Shock implementation.
KYE biofeatures now have vulnerability and resistance to shadow and sun.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
