Put the helpers from the crystal in the middle to the top of the sword, but make rotate the beginning and end helpers together 180 degrees. That way, both the helpers are pointing the opposite direction and the start helper is at the end and the end helper is at the crystal.

Then you want to add augmentation 3 and four (just copy the first two augmentation helpers before you rotate them) and put them at the very start and the very end of the sword, that way you'll have two augmentation helper sets, one upside down ending at the crystal, and one normal.

Then when you put it in fable, give it the CObjectAugmentationsDef of a warhammer (they have aug effects on both sides of the hammer since it's huge), and modify that to your heart's content.

index.php?t=getfile&id=10141&private=0

Don't forget to rotate both the helpers together at once, and before you export select everything one at a time hitting ctrl+A and visual transform for each one.

you're close, but not quite there. Take another look at the example image I posted. One of the helpers should be at the base of the blade

For future note, those torus shapes don't really need that many verts to look good Wink
