I've always thought that the mages felt a little "bare bones." In Skyrim. It was as if Bethesda just made a spells menu and added a bunch of spells into the game. Then I remembered about one of the least used, yet most useful mage tool. Magical Staves. This mod aims to fix that by making Mage Staves have a more common role in the game as craftable items.

This mod adds 7 new crafting components and over 15 new crafting recipes for making every non-unique staff in the game. As for the new crafting materials, you now have:

Moonstone Pearl - A pearl shaped piece of moonstone that can be hand crafted at a smelting furnace, for placing on restoration staves as a focus for the healing power of the gods. This has a new texture, but shares the same model as a small pearl

Soul Syphon - A small gem about the same size as a common soul gem, it serves the purpose of allowing you to trap a soul in any soul trapping staff.

Basic, Sturdy, and Strong Staff Variations - Adding 3 new sets of empty staves, each having the 1 of each school of magic. It ranges from strongest to weakest, and requiring either steel crafting or advanced armours to make these.

Hopefully - if I did it right - the empty staves and soul syphon crystal should be added to the leveling lists of court wizards and blacksmiths. What I did with the leveling lists is probably shoddy work but if someone wanted to help me on that matter, private message me.
