First off, I'm absolutely horrendous at modding. So basically I take other people's awesome mods and edit them ever so slightly to my liking (ever since I got my CS working anyway) to use them. Some very awesome people have helped me in this forum before, hopefully I'll get lucky again lol

Anywho, I would like to know if there was a 5-year-old-can-do-it way of adding like flames or some other glowy-effect onto http://steamcommunity.com/id/crazyjeffy/screenshot/560914741384123030?tab=all from Darksiders. I mean, the mod is awesome (only gripe I had was the low damage and the name - but i changed em) but I just feel like it's too... matte? I think that's a good word to describe it. I think it should glow in one way or another, but I have no idea how to do that. Any advice (or offering to do it themselves heh) would be greatly appreciated.

Two possibilities:
1. Add something to the mesh - this could only be done in a modelling program, and would likely require quite a bit of work.
2. Add an enchantment to the weapon and use one of the many enchantment shader mods. (http://theelderscrolls.info/?go=dlfile&fileid=336)
