How to Choose Between Light Aspect and Dark Aspect for Weapons

The Elemental Enchantments Mod introduces two opposing, time-dependent enchantments for swords and axes: Light Aspect and Dark Aspect. Because they are mutually exclusive, you must decide which cycle suits your playstyle.

Enchantment Properties

• Light Aspect: Increases weapon damage during daylight hours. However, your weapon loses extra durability when used at night or during thunderstorms.
• Dark Aspect: Increases weapon damage at night and during thunderstorms. In exchange, using your weapon during the day causes increased durability loss.

Applying and Using Aspect Enchantments

1. Select your weapon: Both enchantments can be placed on either a sword or an axe.

2. Check your regular activities: Choose Light Aspect if you primarily explore, farm, or fight above ground during the daytime. Choose Dark Aspect if you specialize in nocturnal mob hunting or spend long periods in stormy conditions.

3. Apply the enchantment: Because neither enchantment is classified as treasure, you can acquire them through standard enchantment tables or anvil combination.

4. Manage weapon swaps: Avoid striking targets during your enchantment's off-hours to prevent accelerated durability drain on your main weapon.
