[Dragoness] Dastural

Dastural, a sword named after the dragon word for "Strength" in my manuscript. I found my old concept art I did for the sword and thought to myself "well I wasn't really good at drawing it digitally after drawing it traditionally, so why not try recreating it in FF14!"
This is the finished result.

Comes with two model toggles that allows you to customize parts of the sword. Those being removing the etchings on the blade and removing the leather wraps around the grip. Also alters the VFX from the Exquisite Blood Rapture to be better positioned and most importantly: emits actual light. It's not just a vfx that's making it look like it puts off light.

Please do note I did not set up dye channels at all for the sword so you'll need to alter the advanced dyes to make it look how you want. Also do note that the sword and leather found on the sword is going to look weird. I actively made the sword blade look like crystal and the wraps to look fleshy as it's supposed to be wing membrane.

Now for some juicy lore:

Dastural is a sword made from a crystalized dragon soul. It has 3 sister swords all forged by the same smith, with Dastural being the sword used by the leader of a band of famous monster hunters called The Dragon Knights. Dastural uniquely detects the negativity in the wielder and sharpens its edge to match. The sword was eventually lost to time for half an era before it was rediscovered by a man named Lanslet. He would go to use this legendary sword to bring his people to victory in a civil war.
(If you've ever wondered who the long haired midlander is I use to showcase my mods on males, it's a recreation of him.)
