Any mages out there feel robbed by the uselessness of staves? Having to carry multiple staves to use multiple spells becomes highly cumbersom while having nothing to do with your skills. I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds them completely useless because of this.

 

What I'm about to present to you is probably impossible with the way Skyrim handles equipping, but I figured I'd bring it to those of you who know what you're doing.

 

In stead of tying a staff to a signle spell enchantment, I think it would be better if (if it's possible) you could equip a staff over an already equipped spell. The staff would act as a conduit for the spell, while boosting it, and giving experience: Increased power and lowered mana cost in exchange for enchantment charge and slower experience gain.

 

If possible, the spell casting could also be moved to the power attack with the normal attack being a one-handed bash with the staff.

 

Creating different enchantments for buffs to the individual schools would also be a nice touch. A novice staff could give a 30% lower spell cost with 10% more powerful spell, but a novice destruction staff would add another 5% power to destruction spells. Possibly also add a reduction in casting time for charged spells.

 

 

 

Any constructive input is welcome, weather suggestions for improvent or just to say this is outright impossible.

At the very least, I would like it if staffs and scrolls leveled the equivalent magic skill, so that using them is not actually detrimental to your development.

 

It's almost as if they're meant to be used only be non-mages, except your magic skills affect how well staffs perform, so that doesn't really make sense. o_O
