Ave's College Staff of Magelight

Description:

Replaces the quest reward for Under Saarthal with a unique animated Staff which can be improved with shock enchantments. It is in a similar style as my College Jewelry replacer.

How to obtain them in-game:

Quest reward for Under Saarthal

Incompatibility:

• []mods that edit the Quest Under Saarthal (if you don't like this there use the separate 'no replacer' esp, where you can find the staff in your quater)

  []If you already finished this Quest there is no way to obtain the item (I recommend using the optional esp if that's the case)

  Details:

  I never liked that the only Staff you'll ever get as a quest reward (besides the Staff of Magnus) is an item that is not really something to use, so hands up who didn't get rid of this item sooner or later.

  The basic staff has the regular Magelight effect, however, you can improve it with several shock enchantments at any Staff enchanter, as long as you know the spell.

  Why does this mod need an esp? Why didn't I replace the vanilla nifs?

  Like my other replacers, it replaces unique items that don't have a unique model. in order to accomplish this the esp is required.

  This is part of my Unique replacer series if you use all of them you may consider using the AIO version.

  Installation:

  • []copy all files in your data folder

    []activate the esp files as usual

    💡 Beginner Tips

    • Make sure to place the mod file in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
    • If you're using other staff mods, check load order to ensure this one takes precedence.
    • Since the staff is enchantable, you can disenchant it to learn its enchantment, but note that the replacement may affect the original quest reward.
