Where to Find the Staff of Chain Lightning Location?
- Bought from spell merchants rather than blacksmiths, who will not stock a staff at all. The selection is random and level dependent, and this one enters the pool at level 22.
- Found in random loot, and carried by mages and necromancers of the appropriate school.
- The court wizard in each hold and the College of Winterhold are the most reliable places to check.
- Stagger Push, 1 pt
- Two staves with this enchantment exist. The original game only includes the standard staff, while Dawnguard adds a second staff of the same name with a different appearance, wielded by Falmer.
- Chain Lightning does not inflict any stagger at all unless the Impact perk has been taken and the spell is dual cast, in which case it inflicts 0.25 stagger, not 1.
