Vorpal Sword

Update coming when Steam lets me...

This was a mod I made a while ago, when I first got Skyrim. I went ahead and refined it to share with you!

The mod adds the Vorpal Sword to High Gate Ruins, as well as a copy of the poem called ''Jabberwocky.'' See spoiler at the end of the description for more information.

The sword is equal in strength to a Daedric Greatsword, damages stamina, does 42 points of damage to dragons, and has a 12% chance of knocking opponents to the ground. When it knocks an opponent to the ground, it goes snicker-snack, sounding very much like the sound of a soul being trapped (but of course no souls are harmed).

--------------------------

Now, as you may have noticed, this sword has nothing to do with American McGee's Alice, or the vorpal swords from Dungeons & Dragons. The sword has NO special decapitation chance. Lewis Carroll never said it did. The sword was used to kill the Jabberwock, but the poem does not say that the Jabberwock died from decapitation, only that ''He left it dead, and with its head, he went galumphing back.''

This sword is based on the sword described in Jabberwocky and illustrated by John Tenniel. I used the Iron Greatsword as a base because it looks most like the sword in the illustration, and because the iron greatsword looks awesome. It's essentially a two-handed Dragonbane, to an extent.

The Vorpal Blade is a one-handed version closely resembling the Vorpal Sword. You can craft it with two quicksilver ingots, two gold ingots and two blue mountain flowers if you have the Vorpal Sword in your inventory as well as the Arcane Blacksmith perk.
The Vorpal Blade is equal in strength to a Daedric sword, and does minors stamina damage, deals 24 damage to dragons and snicker-snacks half as often as the Vorpal Sword.

The two swords look exactly alike except for size.
The two-handed sword is NOT craftable, but you need it to craft the one-handed blade.

-------------------------
You can find the sword next to Vokun's tomb, and the poem just outside the door to his tomb
