Morahirs Staff Overhaul

Description
I found that in skyrim staff was mostly useless at higher levels other than for some free spells. Well I’m changing this now! I have overhauled every staff in the game in order to give them their own magical enhancements to the player. All staffs now give you Extra Magicka and Extra Magicka regeneration, Also they make the spells of the chosen staff’s archetype cheaper to cast, now as a real mage you can draw onto the true power of magical staves¬
##################################################################################
Notes
You must drop any staff in your inventory or that you have equipped and pick it up again for the script to start taking effect.
Just to be safe make sure you have no staff equipped if you remove this mod or the buff may be stuck on your character. Better safe than sorry

Mundane

This contains all lower staves from staff of frost bite to staff of calm and even staff of Wall of Storms

You are channelling your power onto a Staff of Destruction. Your Destruction Spells drain you 20% less and +50 Magicka regeneration.

You are channelling your power onto a Staff of Alteration. Your Alteration Spells drain you 20% less and +50 Magicka regeneration

You are channelling your power onto the Wabbajack. The Wabbajack is a tool of madness and thus distils some of its creator into you; your health is stronger to help you survive a mad charge into the fray. +80 Magicka regeneration.

You are channeling your power onto a Staff of Magnus. All your Spells drain you 20% less and you gain +80 Magicka regeneration.

You are channelling your power onto the Sanguine Rose. Sanguine is the lord revealing and his staff is an expansion of himself, By his wish your stamina regenerates faster so you can return to your merriment and +50 Magicka regeneration.

##################################################################################
Conflicts
Well just to point out before I get people calling me on it. This WILL conflict with anything that changes the staffs themselves HOWEVER! Any mod that changes the enchantments spells or textures of staveswill be fine! This mod added a script to ever staff to add a buff to you when you equip it then remove it again when you put the staff down.
##################################################################################
To do list

Expand the system to include all daedric artefacts and powerful equipment
Split the mundane category into two new groups in order to split up more powerful and less powerful staffs
Balancing depends on reports
Add more unique staffs to the game with their own boons and attacks

##################################################################################
Q and A

Q: Why so much extra magicregen?
A: It needs to outweigh duel casting and I normally play of a higher difficulty if you find it to strong try turning it up, if it’s still too strong then let me know and i will do something about it :)

Q: What about Dawnguard or other mod staves?
A: Yeah they are not affected as i don't use mods that add new staves and I don't own Dawnguard yet.

Q: Why expand into more than just staffs? What’s the point?
A: To be fair there is no real point just the items from gods are meant to be powerful beyond belief but still I need to do this within balance of the game. Not easy.

Q: I don’t see why you made this mod when I can just duel cast and stun lock foes.
A: I want to make it so what staff you side to take has an effect on your game play and how you play your character, this makes it more of a choice, a new layer on mage craft so to say.

Q: I like to play mages, so this sounds very interesting. One question though, does this mod remove the original enchantment from Sanguine Rose? The one that summons the Dremora Lord?
A: No it removes no enchaments what so ever, this mod dosent even touch them its just adds a new layer to staffs. :)

finally, a reason to use a staff besides the Wabbajack!

In your listed update, did you clarify that you'd removed extra Magicka, or extra Magicka Regen, which is still shown in your mod?

It is fine, I love this mod and will continue to use it.

@Isandelm. Although this has not happened to me because this mod plays with staff scrips their is a chance it could be my mod that breaks the quest. However as i dont mod anymore because of the overly buggy system i will not beable to fix this bug if it is my mod.

All i can say is if you do a new save try disableing the mod before going into that dungeon.

I just used commands to finish the quest, not sure if it was this mod breaking it though.

Does not let me go on with the Labyrinthian quest. I pick up the Staff of Magnus and the quest does not progress.

I did put this on Nexus for you Zaph

I don't know why this mod is not more popular but dude, you give us an awsome work here.
Using it since a while now, on 3 different characters and I almoste forget it was a mod and not in the game from the beggin. With this little "trick" you beat all the bigger "Magic Overhaul" mod in attempting to give us a more ballanced and usable magic.
You should uplaod this wonder on Nexus, it certain give you the popularity your mode certainly deserve.
