LE Charges and Magika used simultaneously?

[Dimitian]

I have been wondering; is it possible to have staves use both magika and charges at the same time?

The idea is making staves use less charges - so they can actually last more than a minute - without leaving it as a infinite spray that you can keep up at your first level. So, instead of a weapon that casts a spell, it gives you a spell that comes cheaper but still needs a supply of Magika to cast, so can't just spam endlessly. And it would also require recharging after two or three minutes of use.

This mod gives you a spell

use the spell once to activate it

it then gives you 2 new spells, 1 for YOU the other for your companions

drop your staff

use your new spell on the dropped staff, the staff will vanish and reappear.

Loot the staff

re-hotkey the staff

use all of the charges on the staff

watch your magicka refill the charges of said staff

use a magicka potion if you run out of magicka

 

I also think you can manually adjust the usage rules% and such so its not too OP. Also you can have multiple linked weapons and as soon as you equip weapon #2 it will drain all of your magicka to refill the staff, sometimes depending on how powerful the staff is your magicka will run out before the staff is fully recharged.

I used this mod with my BattleAxe wielding barbarian who didn't know single thing about magic. it worked tremendously but idk if it works with staffs as I have not actually tested that.
