regular daybreaker
This mod increases the Dawnbreaker's stats so it's still a very useful weapon later in the game and no longer needs to be recharged. A texture from mystikhybrid is also used so it is consistent with the texture from the corrupted version.

I'll probably do a quest that will give you recipes and things you need to do before you destroy Dawnbreaker. Or just add the recipe to Malkoran's inventory and make the recipe necessary to destroy Dawnbreaker.
give up
This is my first mod so I may make some rookie mistakes. Please don't judge too harshly. Just report the problem and I'll try to fix it.
I recommend using this mod in conjunction with another mod that increases daedric artifacts. If you want my version, just make sure my mod loads after it if another mod also changes Dawnbreaker.

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.
