What's Happened To Sanguine Rose

[danconnors]

The staff you get at the end of the "drinking game quest". It's only producing a Draemora about every 4th use now.

Did somebody complain that the staff was too powerful?

"The Sanguine Rose can be effected by the spell absorption versus conjuration bug, with a high level of spell absorption summoning with the staff may fail and the energy will be absorbed by the player character, just as if the player had used a conjuration spell. "

"Does not always summon a Dremora in the Soul Cairn, but consumes one charge per attempt."

"Having the perk "Elemental Potency" may cause the staff to malfunction. "

If you have the Conjuration perk Elemental Potency the dremora will no longer summon.

This bug is fixed by version 1.5 of the Official Skyrim Patch.
