Make Venom Coating and any other weapon buffing spell apply to both weapons instead of just the main-hand weapon

Currently skill Venom Coating only applies the buff to your mainhand weapon resulting in dual-wielding attacks to apply the weapon buff attack on the main-hand attack (so just once on a single AP attack when dual-wielding). The tool tip of the skill in game says it applies on weapons and visually you can see the poison of Venom Coating dripping from both weapons. I think it will be a fantastic change if these types of weapon buffs applied to both weapons. It will be an awesome buff to dual wielding builds as their damage is overshadowed by 2-hand builds.

Wow, Venom Coating was even lamer than I thought. Doesn't it only last for 1 turn?

Can't you just take a bottle of poison and craft it with your weapons to poison them? (If not, why didn't Larian put that in?)

This does work. though it's incredibly disappointing to do because of the armor system.

I did it at level 2 and you do like 8 normal damage to armor and 3 poison damage to their magic armor.

It's not actually helping you kill your target any faster the best I can tell.

You could do this but it'd be nice to have the option to apply poison dmg to your weapons (in the case of fighting undead).
