Well, glitch isn't the right work in all likelihood, but here's my problem.

I made a really cool sword by deleting all of the parts of Dawnbreaker except for the glowy bits in NifSkope. Then I replicated these glowy bits over and over and put them in a line to make a sword of pure white fire. It looks pretty neat, and changing the color is a snap.

Anyway, the issue is that when I use this sword the 1stPersonDivineFlameMulti (the name of the sword) mesh shows up perfectly fine in both the inventory (the picture of the item you can rotate shows up) and when you're in first person it looks great in hand. BUT if you're in third person, drop the item, etc. the sword is totally invisible. Anyone know why that might be/how to fix it?

BTW: I am using a third person mesh as well. I have it set to a copy of the 1st Person mesh with a different name.
