Oblivion:Staves

A UESPWiki – Sua fonte de The Elder Scrolls desde 1995
< Magic / Items(Redirecionado de Oblivion:Staff)

Staves are always enchanted, and essentially work as magic "rocket launchers" instead of beating sticks. Once the staff is completely discharged, it becomes unusable (save for blocking) and must be recharged using the same methods as any enchanted weapon, namely a Soul Gem, a Varla Stone, or a recharging service. This page describes the unique staves found in the game; a separate page (Generic Staves) describes the rest. Almost all staves have 100 health (exceptions are noted below), but generally the only time the health of a staff is relevant is if a Disintegrate Weapon spell is used.

Mage's Staff

This is a custom (and potentially powerful) staff obtained through a quest once you gain entrance to the Arcane University. After finding the wood you need for the staff (named Unfinished Staff) and taking it to the Arcane University, you get to choose what effects you want. You can choose one of three effects from three schools of magic (which gives a total of nine possible effects).

Destruction

Destruction gives you a "Mage's Staff of Fire", a "Mage's Staff of Frost", or a "Mage's Staff of Shock". Each causes elemental damage to the target. The magnitude varies with your level when you enchant the staff.

* This is one of just two mage's staves that does not have 40 uses. The spell it casts is the same power as the level 5-9 staff, instead of being a weaker version; a 20 foot spell lasting 10 seconds would have the correct cost, and is presumably what was intended.

Additional Notes

  • The level of the finished staff is determined by your level at the moment when you return to pick up the completed staff. It is possible to hand in at a lower level and pick it up once you've reached one of the boundary levels. WARNING: Do not speak with anyone about the staff and do not open the cupboard in the Chironasium until you are ready to pick up the staff. Doing so seems to lock the staff's level into place.
  • The 1.2.0416 patch may 'correct' this, and fix the level of the finished staff at the moment you choose the enchantment.
  • All mage's staves have a weight of 10.
  • If you do not intend to keep the staff, be aware that the monetary value of the staves varies widely depending on the type you create. The bold numbers indicate the highest values for a Mage's Staff at that level.

  1. ^ The "Banishment" enchantment sets the ghost flag on the target. The intent was presumably to make the target invisible, incapable of action and incapable of being interacted with. Unfortunately, the ghost effect doesn't stop the target showing as a conversation target, and doesn't mean the player can walk through it so the result is far from perfect.
