📋 About This Mod
Wands
By OperatorJack
Description
This mod adds fully functional wands to Morrowind, as well as makes staves able to shoot projectiles like in later games! For those familiar with my mod Cast-On-Swing Enchantments, this is the same functionality. The main difference is that now it is limited to wands and staves, and there are new wands models to work with it.
These new wands are available: bonemold, wooden, ash, mabrigash, telvanni, iron, steel, nordic, dwemer (3 variants), ebony (3 variants), orcish, daedric, silver, and stalhrim.
For each model, there is an unenchanted version and 1 or more enchanted versions, except for the daedric wand. All wands are added via levelled lists, so make sure to merge levelled lists before playing your game. Wand distribution is based on player level. There are also some low level start wands for sell in Seyda Neen, at Arrille's Tradehouse.
Use the MCM to enable / disable treating staves as wands, as well as make other weapons work as wands. Other mods can register their models as wands easily to expand the wand selection.
Adds functional wands to Morrowind, enchanted as cast-on-strike weapons, and allows staves to shoot projectiles. A niche gameplay expansion for magic-focused players, with 143 endorsements and recent updates.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fresh take on magic items—wands as cast-on-strike weapons feel natural in Morrowind.
- Staves shooting projectiles adds a new tactical option for mage builds.
- Active development (last updated January 2025) and decent community traction (143 endorsements).
⚠️ Cons
- May conflict with other mods that alter weapon enchantment behavior.
- Limited scope—only adds wands and staff projectiles, no new spells or mechanics.
For Morrowind players who want to expand their magical arsenal with wands and projectile-firing staves. Perfect for mage characters looking for new combat options. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or minimal changes—this is a gameplay tweak, not a total overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since wands are cast-on-strike, you'll need to have enough magicka to use them effectively—keep potions handy.
- Test staves with different enchantments to see which projectiles suit your playstyle.
- If you use a mod manager, install manually by dropping files into your Data Files folder to avoid conflicts.
