=========================================================================================
I have been absent from the Nexus for quite some time. Apparently my mods do not work correctly with Dawnguard, so use at your own risk. I will not be updating my mods any time soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. If on the other hand you want to use these mods in your own projects or improve these mods, feel free. You do not need to ask me for permission.
=========================================================================================

THERE ARE 2 VERSIONS OF THIS MOD:

*STANDALONE
*BETTER BOUND WEAPONS COMPATIBLE

STANDALONE CAN STAND ALONE.

BETTER BOUND WEAPONS COMPATIBLE REQUIRES BETTER BOUND WEAPONS OR ELSE THE GAME CTD'S IMMEDIATELY! (Specifically it needs MBMaster.esm)

=========================================================================================
To Install:
=========================================================================================
Place "MBDagger.esp" or "MBDaggerAlone.esp" and "meshes" into your data folder.

If using the Better Bound Weapons Compatible version, MBDagger.esp must be loaded after MBMaster.esm

Then open up the skyrim launcher, click data files, and mark the check box located next to the files you want loaded and running when the game starts.

You may need to open the skyrimprefs.ini file and add the line "bEnableFileSelection=1" under [Launcher] without quotes if "data files" option in the launcher is greyed out and unselectable. Skyrimprefs is located in My Documents\my games\skyrim.

=========================================================================================
Description:
=========================================================================================

This mod will add a bound dagger spell to the game. There is a stand alone version and a version that is fully compatible with my better bound weapons mod, which is located here:
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2804

The better bound weapons compatible version will cause immediate CTD unless you also have better bound weapons installed. Specifically you need "MBMaster.esm"

Various venders in the game should have the spell tome "bound dagger" for sale. Just look around.

Bound Dagger:
=====================================================================
Conjuration 20, Mystic Binding rank1: 50% damage increase (default) (base damage is 08)
Conjuration 50, Mystic Binding rank2: 100% damage increase (not in stand alone version)
Conjuration 80, Mystic Binding rank3: 140% damage increase (not in stand alone version)

=========================================================================================
How to add with console:
=========================================================================================

Just type in help "bound dagger" 4 and you should see a hex code labeled bound dagger. Then type player.addspell xxxxxxxx where the x's denote the number you saw earlier.

=========================================================================================
To Uninstall:
=========================================================================================

You must follow these instructions exactly to ensure an error free game afterwords. Follow even if you want to reinstall this. Useful for uninstalling other mods too.

1)
In your current save. Press ~ to open the console.

2)
Type in help "bound dagger" 4 you will see a list of everything that is related to this mod accompanied by labels and hexadecimal numbers.

4)
Look for SPEL: (XXXXXXXX) 'Bound Dagger'

5)
Type in player.removespell XXXXXXXX

6)
Save your game.

7)
Remove MBDagger.esp from your Data folder

Done
=========================================================================================
Known Bugs:
=========================================================================================
*! If you uninstall this mod then saved games (where your character possessed the spell "bound dagger") do not have acess to the "General Stats" menu because the game crashes when you click on this.

This bug seems to be Bethesda's mistake as it occurs after uninstalling any custom spell, not just mine.

Workaround: Don't uninstall, just remove the spell with the console or go back to an earlier save. That's the best I have. Sorry.

*! If you dual wield bound weapons in the game, when you sheathe them, your screen may jerk. Again, this is a Bethesda problem.

=========================================================================================
Changelog:
=========================================================================================
v1.0

*! Fixed a bug where MBDagger.esp couldn't run without MBMaster.esm by adding a stand alone version of MBDagger

*! Reuploaded bound dagger stand alone as I forgot to include the meshes

*! Removed the all in one .esp. All these different versions are giving me a headache

v1.1
*! Added MBMaster.esm to the bound dagger better bound weapons compatible archive to hopefully alleviate some "bugs" that people are reporting.

*! Changed the name of the spell tome to better reflect the spell tomes already present in game.

v1.2
*! Fixed the sneak perks from stopping to work correctly when using this dagger.

Thankyou for downloading. I would like to also thank the modding community in general for as being as active, helpful, and resourceful as they have been and also Bethesda for creating such a fun game. Special thanks to those users who have uploaded their own .esp's and posted tutorials.

Also lashni for working so hard to help fix the sneak perk issue

I am very busy with school at the moment so I will probably not be able to work on these mods for a while.
