DeepNorthStaffVisuals

End-game staffs shouldn't look plain. Give Echo Spike and Lightning Strike the game's own visual effects.

Available effects:

• Frostfire flames
• Thunderblood lightning
• Bleeding (Ashlands)
• Storming (Ashlands)
• Primal (Ashlands)
• Dyrnwyn's fire
• Frostner's frost

Visuals only. The mod only changes how the staff looks. No extra damage or effects, the staff works just like vanilla.

How to Use

• Equip a staff and press L to change its look. Each press shows the next one, then back to plain.
• Works on Echo Spike and Lightning Strike only.
• Each staff keeps its look: in chests, on item stands and armor stands, and on the ground.
• Upgrading gives you a new, plain staff. Press L to pick its look again.

Multiplayer

Client-side only. Friends who also have the mod see your looks, and you see theirs. Friends without it see plain staffs.

Compatibility

• Built and tested for Valheim 1.0 (Deep North), on Linux, with no OS-specific code.
• It only adds effects to those two staffs, so it shouldn't clash with other mods, except ones that also change how they look.
• L taken by another mod? Change Change look key in your mod manager's config editor (file algo7.deepnorthstaffvisuals.cfg). Installed by hand? The file is in <Valheim folder>/BepInEx/config/.

Uninstalling

Just remove it. Your staffs go back to plain. Each staff's look stays saved on it (the game ignores it), so reinstalling brings it back.
