Shadowrend in greatsword form

Shadowrend is a Daedric artifact that can take the form of a greatsword or battleaxe. You can find it in Eastmarch switching back and forth in form. To take it and complete the quest Through a Glass, Darkly, you must defeat your shadow: a clone of your player character. After completing the quest, the weapon can be switched out for the other form anytime at the location you found it. Shadowrend's enchantment makes the target temporarily weaker to magic. Tempering Shadowrend requires an Ebony Ingot and the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

Notes

• The enchantment does not stack with itself, meaning that if you hit a creature twice then its weakness to magic remains at 15%.
• The enchantment stacks in an additive way with poisons of weakness to magic.
• Shadowrend previously appeared in Shivering Isles.
• The surface of the weapons have a smoky effect, and they make a unique sound when drawn.
• The sword and axe versions resemble the Daedric Claymore and Daedric Battle Axe models from TES IV: Oblivion, respectively. The axe version used the same model when it appeared in Shivering Isles, although the sword used a different one.

Bugs

• The enchantment does not work. A visual effect is applied on the target, but spell damage is not increased.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, version Unofficial Skyrim Creation Club Content Patches, fixes this bug.
