I think it would be sick if you could create your own staff and enchant it with whatever effects you wanted. Opinions?

They sort of had that in Oblivion, thought it was very limited.

It's a great idea, but very easy to abuse if one had access to all magical effects.

Have to admit, an instant-death staff would be a rather useful, albeit game-breaking tool.

Well you can create your own staff, its just not worth doing. I do agree though they should allow you to enchant what is on the staff and make is easier to make.

That's only conjuring staffs though:(

Maybe included in future dlc

You can't make staffs in Skyrim, can you?

You can, go to winterhold.

I agree, a future DLC should have some expanded features for mages:

• Staff Creation
  
• More Conjured Creatures - Ice Wraiths, Wisp Mothers ect
  
• More Spells - Water Walking, Unlock Spells ect
  
• More Cloths - Both enchanted and un-enchanted (Psijic Order Robes!)
  
• Enchantment modification - Can place any enchantment on anything wearable.

They should add this. It may be a tad unbalanced but...well...look up "skill looping" and behold the wonders of the current game "balance" with regard to melee weapons and bows. People are walking around with Legendary++++ weapons that do 800 damage on a normal swing and mages get [censored] all compared to that.
