The Army of Darkness is a term often used to refer to an evil and malevolent force that terrorizes civilizations in various tales of fantasy and fiction. It is commonly associated with the concept of witches, who are depicted as powerful sorceresses capable of commanding dark magic and commanding an army of undead or demonic creatures. The image of an Army of Darkness led by a witch conjures up visions of a sinister and formidable force that poses a significant threat to innocent lives and the forces of good. These witches are usually portrayed as having an insatiable thirst for power and control, using their dark arts to manipulate and dominate. In many stories, the Army of Darkness witch is presented as the primary antagonist, a central figure that embodies evil and opposes the hero or protagonist. The heroine or hero may be tasked with overcoming insurmountable odds to defeat this powerful witch and her army, ensuring the safety and well-being of the land.

Have you even played Skyrim as multiple characters, and thought: "Gee, my wise old spellsword character does not look right walking around with the same bulky animations that my heavy armor Nord character uses. I use the same type of weapon on both of them, but it doesn't look right with my book-learned old man trying to bludgeon his enemies like some barbarian."
That was why I made this mod: with just the swapping of an amulet, you can switch animations like idles, running, and fighting animations on the go! Of course you need to add the animations yourself though.
IMPORTANT: The animation files are all empty by default - wearing the amulets and rings will do nothing unless you put animations into the files yourself!
To keep it simple, what this mod does is add a bunch of variants of vanilla jewelry into the game that do absolutely nothing on their own, but using DAR's capabilities, you can make different animations play just by wearing an amulet or ring of your choice. I made this video to properly demonstrate what this mod can let you do; I recommend giving it a watch - I had a lot of fun putting it together, and it's very informative on how DAR works regardless.
I highly recommend watching it, because it's a lot easier to understand than me trying to write everything down:
Synopsis:
I originally made this mod for personal use, because I have two different characters I play as that both wield the same type of weapon. I wanted to make their fighting styles different, and I'd just been swapping files out of DAR whenever I wanted to play as a different character. But that got annoying, so I made this mod to make it so I didn't have to go through the effort of manually moving the files every single time.
I made these all invisible so that if you don't want to see your character always wearing jewelry (like me), then they aren't visibly wearing them at all - who wears a ring on the outside of their steel gauntlet anyway? They are still visible in your inventory and when dropped in the world, so you won't need to worry about blindly searching for them if you happen to drop one by mistake.
I made both rings and amulets, so that if your character visibly wears some ring (or necklace), then they still can without sacrificing the specific animations.
They also will work on NPCs and followers too if you want to give them different animations, or if you want to just have different fighting styles yourself, you can place animations in different amulet folders, and hotkey them or something to quickly switch mid-battle.
Requirements:
Just Dynamic Animation Replacer (and its requirements), otherwise you'll just have a mod that gives you a chest filled with a ton of worthless jewelry and a journal.
I suppose you also need the Dawnguard DLC, since it uses some of the jewelry from there.
Installation:
Just download with your mod manager of choice like any other mod. Once it's downloaded, then you just have to add the files as you like.
How it works:
How the mod works is just the same as how DAR itself works; plop the animation .hkx files into the folder of your choosing, and your character should start using them instead (as long as the priority number of the amulet file folder is higher than the one with the animations you're trying to replace).
To find the folders, you're going to have to navigate to the mod itself, and you'll find a ton of folders named different numbers. These are the ones containing the condition files, and this is where you put the animation files into. Just place the animations of your choosing into the folder connected to the amulet or ring of your choice, (some animation files may need to be put into the male or female folders) and that's basically it!
If you know how to do it (which I demonstrate in the video above) you can even get a little crazy, and give your character multiple idle animations - and they can all be specific to different characters as well!
Below is the list of all the folders the mod contains, as well as showing which amulet is associated with which folder:
76759 = AMULETS (Empty - just a marker)
76760 (Akatosh)
76761 (Arkay)
76762 (Dibella)
76763 (Julianos)
76764 (Kynareth)
76765 (Mara)
76766 (Stendarr)
76767 (Talos)
76768 (Zenithar
76769 (Elder Council)
76770 (Skaal)
76771 (Bone hawk amulet)
76772 (Gold necklace)
76773 (Silver necklace)
76774 = RINGS (Empty - just a marker)
76775 (Namira)
76775 (Hircine)
76777 (Vampire red and gold)
76778 (Vampire red and silver)
76779 (Vampire jade)
76780 (Vampire ebony)
76781 (Bone hawk ring)
76782 (Gold ring)
76783 (Gold diamond ring)
76784 (Silver ring)
76785 (Silver amethyst ring)
Quest:
So the quest for this is just to make it feel a little bit more integrated than just "find this chest behind the mill in Riverwood". It's really short; you just find a journal, and it tells you where to find the chest containing all the amulets and rings. Go ahead and read it if you like - I had a lot of fun writing it, but you should only need to pick it up to get the quest update to point you to the chest.
The journal is located inside Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm, on the table of the room that you can rent for the night.

With her supernatural abilities, she can command an array of dark creatures, such as zombies, demons, or even mythical beasts, to do her bidding. The portrayal of the Army of Darkness witch varies across different forms of media, including literature, film, and video games. Each interpretation brings its unique elements to the narrative, emphasizing the power and danger associated with these wicked sorceresses and their armies. One popular example of an Army of Darkness witch is the character of Maleficent, from the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty and its adaptations. She commands an army of ghoulish creatures and casts a powerful curse on the princess. Her iconic persona as the mistress of evil has made her one of the most recognizable and feared Army of Darkness witches in popular culture. In conclusion, the concept of an Army of Darkness witch represents the embodiment of evil and serves as a formidable enemy for heroes and protagonists. With their dark magic and ability to command hordes of dark creatures, these witches pose a significant threat that must be overcome to restore balance and harmony to the world..

While it had its charm, I wasn't able to fully immerse myself in the world of the film.
