LE New Conjuration Weapon (Crossbow)?

[reap3rs5]

I may not be the only one who thought about the same idea. Ever since the Downloadable content (DLC) Dawnguard came out I felt thrilled that Bethesda added crossbows into the world of Skyrim. I am a huge fan of crossbow weapons, especially medieval crossbow with its nostalgic appearance! And I have thought about something: why not make a crossbow that uses magic?

 

There are already Bound Bow, Bound Dagger, Bound Sword and Bound Battleaxe in Skyrim but why aren't there a crossbow that uses magic?

 

So I thought: "I make my very own crossbow mod for Skyrim!" I have tried to make my own in Blender but since I have no knowledge of how to create something in 3D and being a complete newbie, I gave up. For me, Blender was completely hard to understand and how to find things in Blender, even if I have watched tutorials on Youtube. Other 3D programs requires other programs like Photoshop, which I have forgot how to use it. I also don't have afford to buy programs or have any knowledge of them and I didn't want to risk my computer getting a virus if I downloaded programs.

 

I was thinking that to summon the crossbow in Skyrim you need to read and learn it from a conjuration book, like the Bound Bow and the other Bound Weapons. But how to animate it... that's something I haven't really thought about...

 

I was thinking the crossbow should have this purple color like the other Bound Weapons and it should have the same appearance like the crossbow Bethesda have created. But how to animate that's... that's something I haven't really thought about that too...

 

I was thinking that the base damage should be an even number. 20 should be perfect for a crossbow. Why? It's not fun if you kill a dragon, a Giant or a Mammoth with a single hit because I want some fighting, not a target that's easy to kill. If I wanted to kill a dragon with a single hit I could use command codes instead but what's the fun in that?

 

How much should it cost when summon the crossbow? Well... since it's more powerful than the Bound Bow I was thinking it should cost 210 magicka. That requires a character being an Expert in Conjuration Skill.

 

Like the Bound Bow, the crossbow should have 100 bolts when summoned and if the player fire some bolts, unequip the crossbow and then summon it again it should reset the count to 100. It should also have the same attribute like the Bound Bow and the other Bound Weapons, if the player combine other Skills. For an example, when casting a Bound Weapon they create noise and can alert an enemy nearby. It should be easy to fix that by learning the Muffle Skill. That's what I meant by "the crossbow should have the same attribute as the other Bound Weapons."

 

And like the other Bound Weapons, the crossbow shouldn't weight at all nor shouldn't be taken away if you get into the prison because well, hello? It's a magical weapon.

 

If someone read this and make this crossbow, I would be REALLY impressed! I know it's hard work involved with animation, the appearance and the attributes! But I think most of you would think this weapon could be an awesome weapon to have in Skyrim if someone is interested to make this weapon!
