About this mod
Changes the Staff of the Wormlord effect to increase damage of raised dead instead of raise the dead

Introduction
Undeath by Antioch08 is one of my favorite mods of all time. After all, who doesn't want to play as a powerful Lich, raising hordes of undead to do your bidding? To improve upon it further, Classical Lichdom by ConnerRia (Linnsanity) brought even more to the table, expanding the original mod to add things such as perks, a progression system, and the ability to choose different Lich forms and colors. However, one thing that I wasn't crazy about was the Staff of the Wormlord; although the idea of using it to raise the dead fits nicely with the fantasy, by the time you're finished the Undeath questline, you usually have the Dead Thrall spell anyway. Further, once you collect enough black souls and feed them to your phylactery, you have a Mass Reanimate spell. Because of this, the staff could become somewhat pointless. That's why I made this mod.
Description
This simply changes the Staff of the Wormlord's effect to double both the physical and magical damage of your undead minions. I felt this would make it more useful to higher level players, as there aren't very many ways in the vanilla game (or even with mods) to increase the damage of conjured/raised creatures.
Requirements
Undeath Remastered
Undeath - Classical Lichdom
Installation
As this is just a simple .esp, it can be installed at anytime on any save. This also means the mod can be removed safely mid-playthrough. You also do not need to unequip the staff before you install this mod or anything like that. Simply download, load up your game, and enjoy.
Known Issues
Due to the nature of Skyrim's engine, if you are already buffing your undead (say, with something from Wintersun where you worship Mannimarco and increase the damage of your undead that way) there can be a multiplicative effect that causes your undead to become stronger than intended from the staff's effect. Unfortunately, since this is a problem at the engine level, it cannot be fixed (by anyone like me, anyway).
FAQ
Q: Does this work with raised dead only (i.e., those raised with Raise Zombie) or does it work with conjured dead as well (like Conjure Wrathman)?
A: This will work with both raised dead and conjured dead! In other words, any raised or conjured minion that is under your control will be able to benefit from the staff's effect. This includes minions added by other mods (as long as they are flagged as undead themselves)
Q: Does this work with non-summoned minions (like those from the Bone Collector perk from Ordinator)?
A:No, it does not work with those minions. I did this purposefully because most mods that add craftable minions like that have their own system of buffing them. If there are enough people that want it, however, I could make this mod work with those minions, too. I have uploaded an optional version that will allow the staff to work with non-summoned minions. Use the optional version or the main version; not both.
Q: Will perks increase the time or damage benefit that minions game from the effect?
A: No, perks do not affect the staff. I wanted this to be more of a short burst of power rather than a permanent buff. Perks that would increase the duration of the staff, I feel, would cause the mod to fall outside the scope of what I envisioned. However, again, if people want me to make it work with perks, I can try to do so.
Recommended Mods
Undeath Classical Lichdom - The Ascension (Lite) - Who doesn't like more customization options? With this mod by NovaCoru and Myst42, you can be skeletal Lich or a zombified Lich (i.e., the Dragon Priest), wear different Lich outfits (there are ragged, clothing, light armor, and heavy armor variants), and wear any of the Dragon Priests masks in Lich form. Further, there is a unique female Lich model if your character is female. This short description doesn't do the mod justice; check it out for yourself!
Black Mage Armor SE - Made by IRekol (Reko) this mod adds craftable black versions of various mage armors for the game. Perfect for any aspiring necromancer!
Necromancer Lord Armor - PC Version - Made by Lagrie, this amazing mod provides a challenging boss fight and some amazing looking armor. Wearing this garb will truly make you feel like a master of undeath.
Skyramas - A Warcraft Inspired Death Knight Playerbase and Spell Pack - I really can't recommend this mod enough. For all of you World of Warcraft fans out there, Skyramas by Skyhooper adds a unique player home in the form of a Scourge-style city, complete with slaughterhouses, plague spreaders, ziggurats, and, of course, a floating dread necropolis. Influenced heavily by Naxxramas, Skyramas is everything a necromancer needs in a player home.
