- Sorry for the long readme, but the important stuff is in this paragraph. This mod adds a new staff for sale at Rindir\'s Staves in the Imperial City Market. The staff uses target spells from your spellbook, drawing its power from your magicka, and allowing your magic skills to progress as you use it. It uses a smart algorithm to determine the appropriate spell to use for a variety of situations. Although the staff does not do anything you could not otherwise do (in fact, if your spell book is empty it does nothing at all), it does have four distinct advantages over normal casting. The first is obvious: you don\'t need to open your spell book to select the right spell for the situation. Secondly, the staff\'s power is unaffected by your armor. Thirdly, missed spells do not cost you any magicka nor do errant spells hurt your allies, and lastly, if your enemy has a reflect spell ability the staff protects you from the rebounding spell.

- The staff only works on NPC\'s, creatures, and locked doors/containers. The algorithm first identifies what the spell has hit and then considers your spells to determine a good option. It ignores on-touch and on-self spells as well as any spell you cannot cast (low magicka or low skill in that school). The staff uses the appropriate amount of magicka and gives the appropriate experience as though you had cast the spell normally. For specific targets it works in the following ways:
- For enemies it considers all damage health and elemental damage (fire, frost, and shock) spells and compares them to the enemies resistances, shields, and weaknesses. It predicts the amount of damage each spell will do. If you have spells that can kill the enemy in one shot, it will choose the one that costs you the least magicka; otherwise it will choose the spell that does the most damage. For example, if you have equal level spells of fire and frost damage, the staff will use fire against trolls (weak to fire) and Nords (resistant to frost) but use frost against Dark Elves (resistant to fire). For enemies the staff will consider multiple effect spells correctly (provided the effects are those listed above). It is also smart enough not to use area effect spells against nearby enemies, since you may be caught in the blast.
- For friends (companions or anyone else either leading you or following you) it heals them if they are wounded and uses shield (or fire, frost, or shock shield) if they are at full health. For healing spells the staff only considers single effect spells. For shield type spells, the staff will consider multi-effect spells, but only on the merits of their first listed effect. Thus, you can tack on a
