This mod is amazing. Definitely worth a download if you're a staff-wielding mage. =p

This does not need to be nerfed at all
It's a mod, it doesn't HAVE to be balanced
also, I like being OP, it's fun! :)

@zhero691
It does, but I'm planning to remove that feature and simply raise the actual charge level on the staves as soon as my Creation Kit decides to work again. :')
Avarice 20 Sep, 2014 @ 11:10am 
does this mod make staves have infinite charges?

I haven't used any staff yet and I wondered if they can be used to block an attacker like using a bow to bash them to stop their attack and still do some damage.

ty ..I shall ...thanks for this ...:) keep up the good work mate:)

@Willoloh!! (ATR)

The reason the staves are more powerful is because I thought that they were too weak, and the reason for unlimited charges was because when I continuously used a Staff of Flames, it would run out of charges too fast.

I made the Staff of Magnus so powerful for that reason. I thought it killed low-level units too SLOWLY. Since I really liked the staff, I wanted to make it more useful against anything other than the Eye of Magnus and rabbits and fish.


@Jo_Blow

I've made and published a lite version of this mod if you don't like all the alterations that this mod adds. Just look up "Weightless Staves: Lite Version" without the quotation marks.


@Dr. Pinkie

Yes, I've also made it weightless. The Skull of Corruption and Sanguine's Rose are also weightless and have infinite charges. Their mechanics all remain the same though.
Jo_Blow 19 Apr, 2014 @ 2:11am 
I like your idea , weightless not the other ideas to improve tho ..tysm ...I shall seek out a mod just to make those staffs weightless only ...my hope you just make a simple mod for weightless only ....that would be a great mod well used in all the DLC games then ...tysm :)
Willoloh!!! 17 Apr, 2014 @ 6:21pm 
You have made magnus staff 500% stronger, u have made charges unlimited and destruction staves are even stronger... it breaks the point of staves. Staves in skyrim are for those who train their magical abilities but do not wish to invest in a huge pool of mana. The way your staves are, firstly it completely negates the need to train a school of magic because as long as you have the staff your good. I believe the charges should NOT be messed with. What could be done is using staves also train the school of magic BUT in a slower rate. Staff of Magnus in vanilla skyrim is underpower I admit it. it needs maybe up to 200% power but no more than that or it will kill low lvl units so quickly

or do console --> "help <staff name>"
FrostWendigo  [author] 7 Apr, 2014 @ 3:00pm 
Yes, I believe I haven't altered any codes. If nesessary, you can look them up on The Elder Scrolls wiki, or I can post them in the description.
gendropjr 6 Apr, 2014 @ 10:38pm 
Wait are the codes the same (reason: showcase)
Tomoko 2 Apr, 2014 @ 11:02pm 
how is that a problem, "What do teh power staves do"? It's obvious. They make powers, like normal ones except for race specific powers, like Emporer's Charm (i think it is). You'd be able to use this staff with any race and use this power, only 1 charge per staff (or infinite), and it would work with any power.
FrostWendigo  [author] 2 Apr, 2014 @ 8:17pm 
@ Willoloh!! (ATR)
How so?
Willoloh!!! 2 Apr, 2014 @ 5:43pm 
you mod is too OP.
jaketremblay 2 Apr, 2014 @ 1:30pm 
Ps. the staff does not have to be limited to destructoin magic... It would be cool to have a number of mele staffs that could do different kinds of magic from the different schools. Let me know if you have any other questoins, and if that seems like something you would be able to do :)
jaketremblay 2 Apr, 2014 @ 1:25pm 
Yeah, if you can make a staff that can be used for attacking and blocking, with the abiblity to be used for destruction magic that would be so awesome!! every time I play skyrim, I wish I had something like that.... I would so appreciate it... al lot!!! :)
FrostWendigo  [author] 2 Apr, 2014 @ 10:02am 
@Foxy346 <3
But the problem remains, what do the power staves do?
Tomoko 2 Apr, 2014 @ 2:15am 
maybe you could make power staves, such as one that gave you the default imperial power, while being a different race, i.e nord. And/or have rare ones that give transformation powers, i.e, vampire lord, or werewolf.
FrostWendigo  [author] 1 Apr, 2014 @ 10:30pm 
@jaketremblay
Perhaps, I could look into something like that, like adding a new power that changed the staff from melee to magic and could be used limitless times daily?

@The@Heart_Broken&Man
Do you mean like, new individual perks in each School of Magic, or whole new perk trees?
jaketremblay 1 Apr, 2014 @ 7:34pm 
Is it possible to make a stave that can be used as a mele weapon, for attatcking and blocking. As well as for destriction magic?
Tomoko 31 Mar, 2014 @ 10:57pm 
i mean i just like to pick them up for the fuck of it.
FrostWendigo  [author] 31 Mar, 2014 @ 11:15am 
@Dex The Homeless Wizard
Yep. I'm also gonna add infinite charges on the Skull of Corruption as well.

@Foxy346 <3
Do you mean a new perk tree for staves, or just new individual perks in existing categories?

@Tycer
I'll work on that. I just first need to find a program with which I can make new models because I don't think any of the current Skyrim models will work.
Madlad Dex 31 Mar, 2014 @ 8:32am 
Hey I have a question. Will you also change the Wabbajack to have infinite charge as well? It would be pretty awesome. Don't have to just a idea that I think would be cool. :P
Califer 31 Mar, 2014 @ 7:44am 
i allways thought that staffs was so underpowered to youse so now they are awesome thx
Tomoko 31 Mar, 2014 @ 4:34am 
Yes, i have thought "Im gunna take that staff because it's aweomse." That's it though. I never use them. I always have room.
Sci"ChiDoRin" 31 Mar, 2014 @ 1:36am 
I need to see perk for Staves
opa 31 Mar, 2014 @ 12:59am 
Do you think you could add a wand or is this just and improvment on staves

@vinchenzojackal&soldier@bay
In the description, it says that if you potentially want something changed, then to comment about it. If I see a certain number of comments (5) refering to the same topic, then I'll make the change and update the mod. For example, if someone wanted the strength of the staves to be nerfed, then they would comment about it, and if another 4 people comment about the same thing, then I'll nerf the staves.
VinchenzoTheJackal & Shoon 30 Mar, 2014 @ 8:42pm 
I must admit, Staves were borderline useless in Skyrim originally. This however will make them too OP. I wonder if there will be a lite version of this mod which only solves the charge and weight problem with vanilla Skyrim. Something less extreme...
B.Hoover 30 Mar, 2014 @ 9:09am 
@ ev_ike try nexus
1ke 29 Mar, 2014 @ 3:38pm 
This mod sounds like a great edition to the game. As a suggestion, I would recommend adding some sort of ability to allow the character to place the staff on his back. This would add an an entirely new meaning to the look of the staff, as it would be visible on the character at all times.
FrostWendigo  [author] 29 Mar, 2014 @ 8:47am 
@logexbattlion11
Hm, interesting idea. I'll see what I can do.
FrostWendigo  [author] 29 Mar, 2014 @ 8:46am 
@finwailin They're just like normal staves, you can get given them at the end of quests, or just find them. Either way, ALL staves are weightless and have infinite charges.
Cosmoment 29 Mar, 2014 @ 7:42am 
where u find them
Logex 29 Mar, 2014 @ 7:38am 
good work with the better staves idea maybe you culd add wands so that you can mix it with assainations without having a staff
EK-WHALE aka P¦r@T€ 飛竜 28 Mar, 2014 @ 2:30pm

FrostWendigo  [author] 28 Mar, 2014 @ 2:22pm 
@ELECTRO BARBARE ZAHKRII IN
I should, actually. I'll be sure to do that soon.
EK-WHALE aka P¦r@T€ 飛竜 28 Mar, 2014 @ 11:19am

HammerHand 26 Mar, 2014 @ 10:10am

Veil 23 Mar, 2014 @ 4:23pm 
The one mod that made staves usefull in skyrim again. Now I can load up my followers with all sorts of staves and watch them freak out with which one to pick :3
WalriderAlp 23 Mar, 2014 @ 9:44am 
Found it!
