I really like the concept of a powerful staff being the chosen weapon for a powerful mage, but I never liked how staffs work in Skyrim. They can only cast one spell and there's very little interaction involved.

The aim of this mod is to offer a viable alternative to destruction magic for pure mage characters, while also providing a cool weapon that you will always want by your side.

This mod works by giving you a staff that can cycle between 3 aspects: fire, frost and shock. Each aspect will cast it's apprentice level spell (Firebolt, Ice Spike and Lightning Bolt). To change the aspect simply cast the spell "Staff Cycle Aspect", which is an apprentice level alteration spell.

You can also empower the current aspect with the spell "Staff Empower". It will cause the staff to change it's casted spell to the equivalent adept level spell for the aspect (Fireball, Ice Storm or Chain Lightning). The Empower spell is an adept level alteration spell, and the empower lasts for 15 seconds. After that time, the Staff will revert to it's regular state.

Finally, there's the "Staff Charge Tap" spell, which will drain 20% of the Staff's max charge and convert it into magicka every time you cast it. The spell will fail if your Staff does not have enough charge. If you cast the Charge Tap spell while your staff is empowered, you will recover twice as much magicka. The Charge Tap is an apprentice level alteration spell.

NEW: Added the new "Staff Overcharge" spell, that empowers your Staff even further, allowing it to cast the equivalent expert level spell for the aspect (Incinerate, Ice spear or Thunderbolt). It will also fully recharge the Staff, allowing you to cause even more destruction! But there's a catch. After the effect ends, the staff will revert to the unaspected state and lose all of it's charge. This is an expert level alteration spell and it requires that you have an already empowered Psijic Staff equipped.

IMPORTANT

• All of the alteration spells are equipped on the left hand only, and they require the Psijic Staff to be equipped on the right hand. The spells will fail if you are not holding the Staff.
• If the Empower effect ends while you are not holding the Staff, it will revert to an unaspected state and lose all of it's charge.
  

The spell tomes and an unaspected version of the staff can be found in the College of Winterhold, on the outside, on top of the Hall of Attainment (next to the circle where you summon the Daedra for the master level conjuration quest). Grab it, cast Cycle Aspect once and start firing away! (after spending a soul gem or two on it, ofc).

Finally, all the credit for the models go to PraedythXVI and his excellent mod Praedy's Staves AIO. Go check it out!
If you have any tips and suggestions, feel free to contact me. I'm still an apprentice modder and I'm always looking to improve.
