[edit] Absorbing Souls?

* The swords seem to absorb the souls of the enemies they kill on certain occasions (possibly as long as it won't waste part of the soul) though soultrap appears to be needed.

I'm not sure what this means. I'm hoping the editor can elaborate. However, on the chance that it means what I think it means, I have noticed that killing a creature only counts towards the 12 required when the sword blow does the killing. It does not count if the magic damage from the blade is what finally kills the target. It doesn't happen often, as the damage rating of the blade tends to be significantly higher than the damage of the effect in almost all cases. Quillan^Talk 18:20, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

It doesn't trigger if a poison on the blade kills the enemy either... --89.240.189.91 18:28, 19 August 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Absorb Health???

The Superior version of Dawnfang/Duskfang in my game absorbs magicka on strike, not health. --Necaradan666

I was under the impression that Dawnfang absorbed health and Duskfang absorbed magicka (or was it vice versa?). So which one you get depends on the time of day. Is this incorrect? --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 09:42, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

Yes, the Superior Dawnfang absorbs health and the Superior Duskfang absorbs magicka. Nufy8 09:57, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Maximum Charge

I am quite certain that Dawnfang Superior has a greater charge than Duskfang Superior. I will check my game later unless anybody else checks before me.--Divine Crusader 14:09, 4 April 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Dawnfang/Duskfang Dissapearing Act

I have a big problem on my Xbox 360 which both me and my brother have encountered. When I attacked an enemy NPC (Once a knight of Order soon after "addiction" and once a vampire in Gutted Mine) the Dawnfang/Duskfang dissapeared and was never seen again even after waiting for the next cycle of the blade. Naturally i returned to a previous save but cannot use the blade for fear of a repeat. Could anyone please help me out --Lavadragon 09:36, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

It sounds to me like the enemy disarmed you, i.e., knocked the weapon out of your hands and it fell to the ground. Or at least, that has happened me several times when fighting Knights of the Order while using Dawnfang/Duskfang. If that's the case, the sword should still be lying on the ground somewhere near where you were fighting (assuming you weren't unlucky enough to have it fall in a spot where it was able to fall through the floor). --Nephele^Talk 13:04, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

>.< i suppose that was the most obvious thing to think of. I probably couldn't see it because it was dark ie a cave. --Lavadragon 14:37, 27 August 2007 (EDT)

[edit] Duskfang will not change!

Hello. Several in-game days ago, my Duskfang sword stopped changing into Dawnfang. I reloaded an autosave and it changed, but then I went on my merry way, doing approximately 6 Mage's Guild quests. I noticed that it had stopped changing again. I am loath to have to redo all those quests (if I even have a save before it stopped changing.) I have a guess, though: While on horseback, a few days before it stopped changing, I received a second copy of Duskfang (due to a Duskfang/Dawnfang duping glitch covered in the Shivering:Glitches section; it's the first one under "Dawnfang/Duskfang on Horseback").

So, my question is this: Will dropping or storing that second unchanging copy of Duskfang restore this sword to its split personality?--Kittyboymaxj 19:37, 4 September 2007 (EDT)

Edit: Never mind! Dropping that second copy of Duskfang restored this sword to its schizoprenic glory. A tip for you all!

[edit] Enchantment in Sword

I was wondering in the Dawnfang/Duskfang or any weapon of the sort if the Enchantment in it gets stronger as u level? Like if I get Dawnfnag/Duskfang at level 1 and it has 4 attack and 3pts frost/fire when I get to level 30 will it have 25 attack 15pts frost/fire damage? With the answer reply to this or edit it.. Or my email is jmxp10072142@gmail.com. Thanks for the help :D
