About this mod
This is an revised version of Shepiao's amazing Bladestaff moveset mod that I've converted to OAR. I've also added additional movesets featuring spells from various other spell packs. In addition to Shock, Fire, and Ice, there is now also Earth, Wind, Water, Light, Shadow, and Starlight.

When I saw Shepiao's amazing Bladestaff mod I couldn't help but wonder if there was any way that I could make it even better. With this enhanced edition, I've added custom movesets that feature spells from a wide range of different spell packs, so make sure to download all the spell packs listed in the requirements. Also, don't forget to run Nemesis and check off the MCO and payload interpreter options.
In order to use the moveset, you need to equip a Fade of Stone with the Bladestaff. If you are using Stances, you must be in the neutral stance. The stones can be crafted at the forge. Under the optional files, there is a patch if you want the spells cast via power attacks to cost Magicka as well as edited animation files that prevents power attacks from draining Stamina. Please make sure to review the readme included with the animation files first. There is also now an article that details which moveset animations are contained in the folders.
The current additions are Earth, Water, Wind, Light, Shadow, and Starlight themed Bladestaff movesets, with future add-ons being possible if I see a spell pack that I like. The original mod is not required, but please go endorse it if you get the chance as this mod would not exist without it!
***Big Update***
An optional SPID patch is now available. Make sure to install SCAR and check the box in Nemesis. Bandits and Thalmor that you encounter at higher levels have a chance of spawning with Bladestaffs! Currently, they have access to Shock, Fire, and Ice. Certain Vigilants will use Light to deadly effect against any unfortunate undead that crosses their path. However, be warned that these NPCs have access to the entire moveset, which means that you may find yourself on the receiving end of the master level spells. It was quite tricky to get this to work as the game still classifies Bladestaffs as warhammers, so you may see instances of enemies trying to get into melee range before backing off. But generally, they will still try to fire off spells at a distance. Skyrim's AI can still be pretty janky at times, unfortunately. I tried to get them to behave in a way that would make for a fun and challenging addition to your game, so I hope you guys enjoy! I uploaded a video demonstration if you'd like to see it in action. I also changed the stone crafting requirements as it seemed too easy to acquire the stones given how powerful they are. Lastly, there is a new bladestaff moveset. The Starlight stone is not craftable and can be obtained by looting it from Ancano (or use the additemmenu).
