📋 About This Mod
✅ --UPDATE---
✅ --DESCRIPTION---
✅ There are three versions of the mod:
✅ --INSTALLATION---
✅ --COMPATIBILITY---
✅ --PERMISSIONS---
- --UPDATE---
- Fixed a bug in the initial release where the staffs \"firing sound\" would not play. Anyone using the mod should download the new version.
- --DESCRIPTION---
- With this mod, the staff of magnus actually absorbs 20 points of magicka (and then health) per second like it\'s supposed too, instead of just doing 20 points of magicka\\health damage.
- The staff should still have all of its quest related functionality, as the original effects are still on the staff, just with reduced magnitudes.
- There are three versions of the mod:
- 1.) Magnus20.esp -- Staff absorbs 20 points of magicka per second until the target runs out, then absorbs 20 points of health per second.
- 2.) Magnus50.esp -- Staff absorbs 50 points of magicka per second until the target runs out, then absorbs 50 points of health per second.
- 3.) Magnus100.esp -- Staff absorbs 100 points of magicka per second until the target runs out, then absorbs 100 points of health per second. Overpowered.
- --INSTALLATION---
- Copy one of the .esp files into your skyrim data folder (steam\\steamapps\\common\\skyrim\\data). Or just use the nexus mod manager.
- --COMPATIBILITY---
- This mod is not compatible with any mod that alters the staff of magnus or its enchantment. It should be compatible with everything else.
- --PERMISSIONS---
- You can do absolutely anything you want with this mod, no permission or credit necessary.
