About this mod

A GRAND staff only affects enemies up to level 8???
After playing Skyrim for several years, I noticed that I had never bothered to pick up a restoration or illusion staff except to sell. I initially assumed that due to my characters not having perks in those schools, and that the staves would be more effective on a different character build. However I soon realized that even without perks, most staves in the game have weaker effects than the spells that they are based on. This means that staves are essentially useless. They are useless to characters who don't have perks in their school of magic as the effects are pathetically weak and they are also useless to characters that do have perks in their school as the spells they already know are strictly better. I created this mod to correct the problem by increasing the power of the staves found in random loot to have effects that are as powerful as their counterpart spells. The amount of enchantment power that the staves use per cast was kept the same so the staves have the same number of uses as vanilla and aren't any harder to recharge. The Destruction, Alteration, and Atronach summoning staves already had parity with their spells and so remain unchanged.
