Welcome to the thirty-first installment to my Oblivion Immersion Series.  I never cared much for the staves in vanilla.  They always looked clunky, graceless, and unattractive.  So this mod was born as a spin-off from One of a Kind Weapons, replacing the vanilla meshes for the generic staves with new models and textures from Trollf's amazing Armamentarium mod. 

This mod also imports Skyrim's feature of giving staves different models according to their school of magic (i.e. destruction staves look different from conjuration staves, etc.).  That was a feature that I liked in Skyrim and wanted here in Oblivion. 

Last, the staff designs were chosen to retain their organic vanilla flavor, but sleeker, as well as show signs of Ayleid influence in their construction.  Given the cultural importance of the Ayleids to the development of magic in Cyrodiil, it makes sense that modern staff design in Cyrodiil would be derived from Ayleid sources.

This mod is obviously not compatible with Oblivion Staff Replacer or any of its derivative projects.  But if this mod's aesthetics don't appeal for any reason, then I suggest trying that as an alternative. 

Author's Note:  As of the mod's release date, I am in the midst of moving for a job offer.  I decided to go ahead and release this mod in keeping with my usual release schedule, but I will not be readily available for comment, feedback, or patching.  Thank you for understanding.
