==============================================
ABOUT THIS MOD:
===============================================
I never liked how every single destruction staff in Skyrim looked identical to every other (barring the forsworn).
so I put together this little texture mod to give the staffs some more flavour.
All the Ice type staffs have the Ice texture, all the Fire type Staffs have the Fire texture, and all the Lightning
type Staffs have the Lightning texture, there are still 1 or 2 vanilla textured staffs in the game.
The Forsworn Staffs have also had a minor change in that now the crystal in the staff glows & is a little more fire like.
It's ONLY a texture change, the staffs function exactly the same as in Vanilla.

===============================================
INSTALLATION:
