I for one am glad of this news.

Obviously not 100% confirmation, but I was pretty sure this would be possible. Would be silly to add in all those new item creations possibilities and leave staves completely out.

I wasn't sure I'd even get a reply

But yup, that confirms my plan to run around with http://i41.tinypic.com/dw3slj.jpg and magical gear in place of actually having any magical skills is a-go!

I'm glad we can do that now

Very cool pic! Looks like fun.

Yeah this may change my build dramatically. Next question...will augmented shock improve the damage of my sparks staff?

Edit: Looks like you are thinking shield+staff. This setup would require 0 magicka...interesting...perhaps enchant robes with armor/magic resistance buffs?

Another note: we know that staff charge level (number of charges) is dependent on corresponding magic skill. We also know that the Enchanter 5 perks make enchants "stronger" (higher magnitude). What then, does the actual enchanting skill level buy us? In alchemy, it's been shown to affect the rate of successful potion making. I doubt we'd be going back to MW in that enchants could fail again...but perhaps so? Otherwise would it subtly affect magnitude similar to one-handed...or further improve efficiency like the magic schools?

Just tried getting a second confirmation from another player, unfortunately I just got: " ive yet to see unenchanted staff, but i would hope you could."

Hrmmm...

Yeah, im not sold on this confirmation either

" U can craft them, and then enchant them is all i know.."

I mean really?

Sigh...perhaps you're right. Character planning with heresay info is frustrating...

Still, I'd imagine we could disenchant staves...and what good would a light spell be on weapons or armor?
