Does it damage you, or damage the weapon's target?

Doesn't damage you, deals out extra damage at nighttime. Or is supposed to. was broken in a patch, AFAIK still is.

Not tonight, son, you're not on the list.
The only lunar enchantment listed is Silent Moons, which is supposed to do light damage to enemies, but as mentioned was broken by patch 1.3.
So if you equip it and stand there, you see your health going down? Very strange.

Visual effect plays at night, but no extra damage is done. Just checked with console.

Lunar weapons do extra damage when the moon is out (or just at night, can't remember which), on enemies you strike with said weapons. They don't damage you in anyway, unless the enemies are attacking you with lunar weapons.

I think it's a pretty neat addition to the game (if it is even an addition), I don't use them personally but it would be a good enchantment to apply if I was ever stricken by vampirism.

Never seen it damage me, it's not really a useful enchantment since it still uses it's charge in daylight ._.
It's only half as useful as all the other Damage enchantments with an Alteration spell effect whenever it hits someone.

It damages you? I don't recall that happening to me. Something is odd.

It doesn't do anything? So it's not good for anything? Or maybe what you are saying is that the enchant always do the damage, even during daytime. In that case it's better than advertised.

No it doesn't damage the wielder of the weapon. It damages whoever he/she strikes with it, or at least it was supposed to.

Just a white light, that is all. No extra damage compared to the standard unenchanted weapon.
