Better Staff Enchanting 1.0.0
🕑 Added 2022-05-03 21:47:01 +0000 UTCSo if you're like me, the first time you played Dragonborn and Neloth said "You may use my staff enchanter if you want." You grabbed that key and made a b-line for the enchanter, imagining all the cool staves you would make. Then you were incredibly disappointed to find out that all it did was craft bog standard staves that were still locked into their appearance by school. This mod corrects that. You may now put any craftable staff enchantment on any unenchanted staff you possess (Including those added by mods, with one exception. See compatibility below).
The Process:
Activating a staff enchanter will open a menu to allow you to add an unenchanted staff from your inventory. Then you use the normal menu to craft a staff with the enchantment you want, and TaDa! You're the proud owner of a custom staff! This does mean the two unenchanted staves are both consumed in the process. I've gone this route to allow maximum compatibility with other mods. Crafting with no added staff will result in the enchanter behaving as normal.
The resulting staff will be named after your character and the staff that its enchantment is from, to make them easy to differentiate from other staves. Example: Staff of fireballs + unenchanted illusion staff + enchanted by Bob = "Bob's Staff of Fireballs"
This mod shines the most when used with mods like Apocalypse that adds new craftable staff enchantments, as well as mods like LoTD that adds some new unenchanted staves (replicas)

Compatibility:
This mod IS compatible with mods that add unenchanted staves or craftable enchanted staves. There is one minor condition, if the mod adds new unenchanted staves AND is an ESL/ESL flagged file, then the default enchantment charges of the staves has to be 0. Fortunately patching this issue is very simple with SSEEdit.
Requirements:
This mod does Require SKSE
Optional Patches:
AE Staff Enchanting Patch - (ESL) Fixes the above stated issue for the staves added by Anniversary Edition
Artifacts of Skyrim Patch - Changes the replica staves from Artifacts of Skyrim - Revised Edition to have no enchantment, thus making them usable in this system
