Thank you for the mod, may your ancestors look upon you happily. but sadly, this was not the case before, when you activate powersword, you are left out vulnerable and movement speed reduced, but always did activate . now I dont know what happened. i will check out the mod and try , but it was not broken. ---

yeah its absolutely knackered atm. however I will point out that the folding shovel benefits strongly from this; right now you can fold the shovel, stow it and when you equip it again its still in folded mode. But I would be fine with losing this and activation states getting fixed. I had the power sword 6 activation cancel down pat. ---
