Advanced Special Attacks

This mod uses the weapon-type feature of Advanced Melee Framework to provide three new special attack skills for each type of weapon (swords, clubs, and daggers).

The first new skill for each weapon type is available at combat level four, second at level seven, and third at level ten.

Skills for each weapon type are as follows:

Swords

quick slash in all four directions
quick slash in all four directions plus magic projectiles in four directions that do 3x weapon damage
quick slash in all four directions twice plus magic projectiles in eight directions that do 6x weapon damage

Clubs

power slam plus a single lightning projectile that does 2x weapon damage
power slam plus three lightning projectiles that do 3x weapon damage
power slam plus five lightning projectiles that do 6x weapon damage

Daggers

quick lunge then rapid stab attack then quick retreat
quick lunge then rapid stab attack plus three throwing daggers that do 3x weapon damage then quick retreat
quick lunge then rapid stab attack plus five throwing daggers that do 6x weapon damage then quick retreat

Here's a video showing these attacks (max level) in comparison to the vanilla special attacks:



And here's a video showing me clumsily defeating a bug boss with them:



By default these skills override the existing skills once you reach the required level. You can edit the config.json for Advanced Melee Framework to alternatively require holding down a modifier key to switch to this mod's special attack.
