TriviaEdit

• The recharge capacity of this staff is the same as Common Soul Gems recharge capacity.
• This is a machinegun like staff, which has a very high firing rate.  When hold "fire button" before release, this staff does not require much time while most staffs require a short time before release.
• This is the only destruction staff that uses the model of a restoration staff.
• Tolfdir may pick up this staff during combat. He will sell it, however.
• It is also possible for a follower to pick up the staff. However, one can get it for free by trading with them.
• The staff is unique from regular shock spells due to it dealing twice as much magicka damage than regular damage, instead of only half.
• Oddly, the staff description does not mention that it deals shock damage, when it clearly shoots electricity.
• Even if wearing apparel that reduces the cost of casting Destruction spells by 100%, the staff still requires recharging.
• Since the staff does 50 magicka damage per second it is ideal for when mages run out of magicka and want to reduces their enemy's magicka pool.

BugsEdit

• The staff potentially cannot be stored in a display case; if it is placed in one it will appear floating in the air nearby.
•  360  It is possible for Jyrik Gauldurson to use this staff against the Dragonborn.
• It may be impossible to pick up. If so, use Unrelenting Force or a spell that moves objects and the 'take' option will appear.
