Staff of Fear is a Staff in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Staves are special weapons imbued with various Enchantments, allowing wielders to cast Spells without using Magicka. Instead, Staves use up their enchantment charges with every use but can be recharged with the use of Soul Gems. Staff of Fear's effects are governed by the Illusion school of Magic and its charge usage can be reduced by leveling up the Illusion skill. Combined with the Fortify Illusion enchantment applied to Armor, it is feasible to reach 100% charge reduction on this weapon.
