╔══════════╗ Features ╚══════════╝
╔╗ ║║ The Staff Enchanter in the Archmage's Quarters is now the "Archmage's Staff Enchanter". ╚╝  ╔╗ ║║ Staves & Staffs are crafted with different recipes at the Archmage's Staff Enchanter. They are crafted with the ║║ appropriate Spell Tome and filled Soul Gems, rather than having to know the spell and use Heart Stones. ╚╝  ╔╗ ║║ Previously unobtainable Staves & Staffs are now craft-able at the Archmage's Staff Enchanter. They are: ║║ Fire Rune, Frost Rune, Lightning Rune, Frenzy Rune, Ash Rune, Poison Rune, Sunfire, Vampire's Bane,  ║║ Heal Undead, Necromantic Healing, Seeker, Asp Spawn, Dremora Lord, Mistman, Wrathman, Boneman. ╚╝  ╔╗ ║║ Staves & Staffs are affected by perks they were previously lacking. E.g. "Intense Flames". ╚╝  ╔╗ ║║ Staves & Staffs are scaled in power to match their spell counterparts. ╚╝  ╔╗ ║║ Unenchanted Staves & Staffs are craftable at the Archmage Staff Enchanter. ╚╝
