Read me for a quick weapon mechanics reference:
*each weapon has a primary and altfire
*BIND YOUR NEW KEYS FOR WEAPON ACTIONS AND UTILITIES
*Hitting Utility with the sword fires a grappling hook, useful for dragging monsters in close
*hitting utility with the arm cannon changes your firing mode, give your trigger finger a rest and spike enemies with metal darts!
*hitting action changes your weapon into its powered state and back again
*the non powered weapons will generate mana for the powered versions by attacking enemies
*the powered sword's attacks will heal you on strike, stay in the fight and stay alive!
*The sword's utility: The grappling hook will always cause monsters to flinch, you can break an archvile's concentration on you for a moment using this, just make sure to have a plan ready when you have a pissed off martian flying towards you.
*Tapping reload after you throw your sword allows you to recover it, at the cost of arcane energy

About this mod
Spoiler:
What the hell does that mean?
Simple!
Go
Medieval
On
Their
Asses
Okay so what's the idea with this mod?
Again, simple: I'm making a fantasy themed weapon set comprised of only 2 weapons, but with each having their own unique purpose; you'll find none of my weapons to be made useless by another here!
So how does that work?
You're fully equipped right from the word go, use the reload key to switch between the normal and powered states of your two weapons, the non-powered state generates mana for your powered up form by damaging foes, stay in the fray and keep laying on the pain!
