vtfrostbite Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have two staffs (frost and storm) both charged. I leveled conjuration up to 80 to get the double power but some how now when I go to cast the staff it just goes poof. I did increase the perk to Expert thinking this could be the problem. I can cast the Conjoure Flames spell and that works. Any idea why these two staffs stopped working? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpestilence Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 This is fairly common. You are either using the Atronach stone or the Atronach perk in the Alteration skill tree. The spell apsorption ability is a little bugged. If you cast a conjuration spell you will 100% absorb the spell if it is cast too closely. Try casting the spell further across the room. It usually works then. As an added bonus, if you are low on Magika, this "bug" can allow you to fill your magika from a staff, because if you cast a conjuration spell from a staff and absorb it, you absorb all the energy of the spell by draining the charges on the staff.

I was very optimistic when I first read that this was common! However I am not using the perk nor the stone. It did stop working during that leveling spree of 60 -80 and I did pick up the cast of 3x perk so I am going to see if it does have anything to do with the distance. I will check back in later.

No this wasn't my issue. When I cast it the little grey bar on the right will decrease slightly (like the health bar but smaller and grey) and the contrast of the screen dims as I am casting. No messages in the top left. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimF Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 A perk in conjuration tree, which empowers atronachs(Elemental potency), switches all conjuration staves off (including the rose of Sanguine). So, if you have this perk, your staves will certainly stop working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtfrostbite Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Bummer. I like the staffs. But I like the stronger minions better. Thank you very much for the answer, that is what happened. I should have said why I wanted to level this tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
