INTRODUCTION
This mod will add a new lesser power that lets your character meditate with a sword to gain an attack and defense buff.
REQUIREMENTS
Optional:
- Dynamic Animation Replacer OR Open Animation Replacer: To replace the meditation animation.
- Immersive Equipment Displays: A preset is included to display your last equipped sword during the meditation. Version 1.7.3 or above.
HOW TO GET STARTED
To acquire the lesser power, all you need to do is read the book Words and Philosophy. You can then use the power to meditate when you're not busy with something else. After 10 seconds of meditation, you'll receive a buff that increases both attack and defense when fighting with swords, one-handed or two-handed, for 120 seconds.
If you're using IED, you can navigate to "View>Display Manager>View>Custom Items" and apply the preset "OWS - Sword Display" to display your last equipped sword or greatsword during the animation.
Spoiler: 
If you want to disable your weapon display when meditating, you can add a condition in "View>Gear nodes" to make the weapons invisible. Use the furniture condition below:

If you don't use IED, you can install the optional file that uses an AnimObject instead, the object can be replaced if you have Sharpen Other Swords installed.
Q&A
Q: ESL flagged?
A: Yes.
Q: Why read a book?
A: I had initially considered incorporating a quest with an NPC to teach you how to meditate, or something along those lines, but I couldn't implement it.
The book kinda fits the power anyway, and I think it's an immersive way to get the power.
Q: I already read the book, will I get the power automatically?
A: No, read the book again. Sometimes you discover new things when reading a book for the second time.
Q: But I have already sold all the copies of the book and can't find a new one anywhere?
A: Player.AddItem 0001AFD8 1.
Q: Why a sword?
A: I don't know, I thought it was cool and I already had the animations ready from my other mod lol.
Q: Is the power unbalanced?
A: I'm not entirely sure; perhaps it is. The power exclusively applies to swords, and even though it lasts for 120 seconds and can be cast as many times as you want, it still requires you to meditate for 10 seconds to activate.
