Sword of Leda - Weapon of Faith.

Turn Leda's sword (a weapon from DLC Shadow of the Erdtree) into a weapon of faith/disbelief and, if desired, into a weapon-catalyst of magic (magic or magic and sorcery only).

I like the new weapon class Light Greatsword, at least conceptually, but From Software, in its endless wisdom, added eight new weapon classes to the game along with DLC. To put it mildly, it is a very disappointing move. I also like the concept of Int/Faith, and I often play it with this build (including the Pvp). From Software added only three weapons to the light sword class, and only one of them, milady, is usable. No crusade is a crime, and I refuse to use it. In addition, I consider it a mistake that FromSoft did not name this class of weapon "Longsword".

For all these reasons, I was immediately disappointed in Milady, and Leran's double blades did not satisfy me. The only option was Leda's sword. Although the weapon's appearance implies that it is a weapon of faith (which is fine), in fact it contains quite a lot of dex/faith and dex-leaning elements, making it extremely unsuitable for builds of faith and int/faith. It's a pity because it's a very good sword.

Although the sword is not available in online vanilla games, we still decided to correct the situation: We changed the requirements and scale of the sword of Leda, making it a real weapon of faith/faith. This reduces the str/dex requirement for the sword, but requires more int/faith. The requirements of int/faith are quite high, but those who have this build will have even higher stats. Scaling is changed so that int and faith scale holy damage; str and dex scale physical damage, but they scale lower, and most physical damage comes from base damage; balancing stats for the RL125 build. Verified.

Executive summary

Modify Leda's sword to have an int/belief scale:

Str and dex requirements on 12, int and feat on 25.

Scaling: str and dex D on 10, int and feat A.

It is still a modest weapon with a maximum gain of +10.

There is a possibility to replace the ashes of battle (removal of ashes restores Needle Piercer). Replacing the ash does not change the weapon’s scale or damage, only the embedded ash.

It cannot be polished with oil or spells.

At will, dropping a weapon can use it as a catalyst for spells or both, and magic with the R2 key (a heavy attack), similar to Carian's Magic Sword. It would be nice to be able to use this weapon with the input of Ash of War, but we don't know how to do it yet.

The scale of the spells is similar to the scale of the Golden Order's seals of the same status.

Details.

Only the mixed mode contains the parts folder. By default, weapon models do not have an initial visual port (such as spellprinting). Spells are not affected, only enchantment is affected. The mod includes a modified sword model with an additional attachment point at the tip of the blade. If you are using the grid modifier for Leda's sword, you need to open wp_a_0255.partsbnd. Open the dcx file in WitchyBND, open WP_A_0255.flver in FLVER Editor, add a new dummy point with 181 refid and -1 parent bone, save the file (you can move the point position there as well). Then repackage the part file using WitchyBND.

If you are using other mods with regulation.bin, you need to merge them. Use the provided regulation.csv file (with all changes) to merge.

Why are there no other weapons?

I like the look of Leda's sword, but his condition in the vanilla game is disappointing.

The second option is Lelana's sword. I like the sword Karian (right hand), but the flaming sword (left hand) is terrible. If I got it, I'd have to deal with a second sword that's always on the character, or suffer strange differences in damage if I swapped for a non-double weapon. Lelana's Moonsword deals only physical + magical damage, while Flaming Sword deals only physical + flame damage. If you make a weapon that deals only magical or fiery damage, it will either be useless or will always deal half damage. I don't think you should bother with that.

There's also Gazing Finger, a huge weapon that hardly fits godliness and that I don't really want to use. And then there is the Staff of the Great Beyond, which, though steep, is still a staff, and ugly.
