New update 2.5! Check out the description below for details. 


This is the remake and remaster of my old mod "soul gems staff", come with new handmade-aesthetic design inspired from common mage staff with crystal.

- There are 6 staves, each represent 6 types of soul gems, come with unique enchantment for offense, crowd-control, healing, and buffing.
- Most balanced during mid and end game, some make great sidearm, ambush, or for supporting your allies (follower can use too).
- These staves uses vanilla textures, so they will benefit from any retexture mod(s) you use.
- These staves were made to be used with CGO in mind, each staff were given damage value, impact set and sound fx like other melee weapons.
  For example:
                         + You can swing Lesser staff for dealing melee damage while releasing healing spell with each swing.
                         + They have base damage value that's sightly lower than Iron Warhammer, so they're still useful if you ever ran out of charges. Perfect for pure                                  mage build roleplay who don't like using, carrying and switching to other weapons/spells.

What's new in update 2.5:
- Staff of Common Soul has been remastered with new magic effect.
- Visual enhancement for Common, Black and Greater staves; added particles to simulate interaction with surrounding environment.
- Bug fixing and cleanup.

Major new additions in update 2.0:
                       

Right... a magical staff appear out of nowhere and doesn't stay on your back when sheathed may seem unrealistic to (some of) you?
The "lore" (my own bs) behind these bound variants is: instead of conjuring a weapon from Oblivion, a mage can store their weapons in a dimensional storage, and deploy them at will. This spell belongs to the school of Alteration.

- Add bound variant for each staff. They can be acquired by breaking down your staff along with some paper rolls and leathers at Staff Enchanter, creating a spell tome which you can read to learn its spell.
  + The bound variants eliminate the need of carrying an actual staff, saving carry weight for other items. They will last for 1 day, as long as you don't lower 
      (sheath) your hands. 
  + They don't need to be recharged, simply cast your spell again to summon a new, fully charged staff.
  + But there's always a catch. The spell cost 100 magicka to cast, then will drain all of your Magicka pool. A mage with Alteration level 25 and higher can cast these spells for less Magicka. Having larger Magicka pool and quicker regen help a lot.
  + These bound variants only held a much lower amount of charges compared to normal staves, and they cannot be recharged by any mean other than                     recasting anew. 
- These staves are now classified as both staff and warhammer. Melee damage value now scale with your Two-Handed skill. For usage with CGO
