📋 About This Mod
Gandalf Lightstaff
Model made by Wolf2
This is an everlasting lightstaff based on the modders' resource "Gandalf Staff" by Wolf2 (http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=19489) I did this already for Oblivion and finally thought it might be useful in Skyrim too. (http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=33934) Unlike to Oblivion you can use this like a torch and at the same time it works like a shield.
You can find it in a (respawning) chest at the shrine of Talos right east of the Cradle Crush Rock Camp: http://www10.pic-upload.de/24. 07. 12/tjug8925wdxj.jpg You may also type coe 23,-1 in the console and you are there.
Install: Unzip the zip file and copy the meshes, textures and esp to your Skyrim Data folder. Confirm when asked to overwrite (nothing will be overwritten though, this is all new stuff) or to be integrated.
Wolf2 who made the original model of the staff Insanity Sorrow for his tutorial how to port models to Skyrim (http://tesalliance.org/forums/index.php?/topic/4634-3d-craftworks-importing-weapons-into-skyrim/) The wonderful people of the niftools group Bethesda for the TES games.
Adds an everlasting lightstaff to Skyrim, based on Wolf2's Gandalf Staff resource. Functions as a light source and can be used like a shield. A simple cosmetic/utility item for fans of the wizard aesthetic.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 629 endorsements and over 14k downloads
- Dual-purpose: lights your way and blocks attacks like a shield

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — may have compatibility issues with current Skyrim versions
- Purely cosmetic/utility — no gameplay changes beyond the light and shield function
For Skyrim players who want a Gandalf-style staff that doubles as a torch and shield. Great for roleplayers and mage builds who want a thematic light source. Skip if you're looking for combat overhauls or new mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's from 2012, make sure your Skyrim is patched to the version it was made for, or use a mod manager to handle any potential conflicts.
- Test the staff in a safe area first to see how the light and shield mechanics work with your current load order.
- If you're using a mod manager, check the mod's file structure to ensure it places the item in your inventory correctly.
