Unnofficial Weapon Balance Patch
Overview
That mod is aimed at giving some love to some weapons you almost certanly skip during your general playthrough by giving them a special effect, changing their behavior, providing more enchantability or just changing some stats.

Unfinished features:
Werlig spear creates a chain lightning - that turned out beyond my capabilities of C-sharp, I'm currently taking any help possible. Butcher's Cleaver deals etherial damage just as dreamer's halberd and inflicts Fear status effect. Currently fear is bugged.
