About this mod Machine translation

Added a unique Divine Crusader themed arm gun based on the ridiculous "Pelinal (Animated Opera)" Youtube video, which depicts Pelinal Whitestrake as having a Mega Man style arm blaster. Complete a mini treasure hunt to find Pellinar's greatest weapon, his "left hand made of murderous light!"

"Because his left hand was made of murderous light, he was the Perinal of the White Stone; he was the bloody Perinal, because he drank in victory; he was the Perinal rebel, because he gave the Crusades a face; he was the victorious Perinal, and when the two words finally became synonymous, the men-at-arms thanked the Eight when they saw the flag of war rising..."

-Song of Pelinal 1

He is known as Pelinal Whitestrake, the scourge of Elvenkind. With savage hands he led the Allessian slave revolt and brought ruin to their elven overlords. He was given eight powerful artifacts, gifts from God out of mercy for the plight of mankind. With this power, Pelinar wiped the Eledi from Tamriel, paving the way for the Imperium of Man. But the story is about the ninth gift, the gift from the missing God. "His left hand is the killing light." Arhat's gift. It is called the Doom Drum because its power embodies the death that Erwinkind fears. But Pelinar's appetite knew no bounds, and at his fatal moment the gods wrested the weapon from his hands and hid it far away, so that no one else could ever use its power...

The weapon is set up as a piece of armor (technically a ring) that gives you three abilities when worn. Each skill is set up as an invisible staff, so you can technically use them with both hands, or even dual-use them. Mahty does this, but I haven't been able to think of a better way. There's really no way to stop you from using them incorrectly, so you have to play some role.

-The first ability is a concentrated energy blast, similar to dwarven weapons. The projectiles it fires travel in a straight line and explode with a devastating impact.

-The second skill is an overwhelming, anime-style blast of energy that erupts from the gun and kills everything in its path. It doesn't have the same range as the first one, but it's powerful.

-The third ability is a combination of a magic ward and a regeneration spell; it will protect you from damage while it heals.

-You can convert the armor to the right-handed version at the forge. For this, you need the Dwarven Smithing and Arcane blacksmith perks. It doesn't change anything along with the actual abilities, just the hand shape displayed by the armor.

Obviously, this weapon is absolutely overwhelming, but that's the point. It really shouldn't be taken seriously. It should be as ridiculous, ridiculous and awesome as the video that inspired it!

-The power supply can be equipped either way; there's really no easy way to force it to be on the left side only.

-The Ward spell uses the open hand to clamp the weapon for some reason.

-The right-hand version needs to adjust the mesh; the hand is pinched a bit.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
