The artifact Hrormir's Icestaff is a staff that causes Frost Damage, light, and chameleon. It is stolen from the Arch Mage's quarters during the quest Misdirection for the Thieves Guild, but is returned after the quest. The two IDs correspond to the version of the staff that you retrieve during the quest (the first ID) and the version of the staff that you can obtain after the quest is complete (the second ID). The quest version is a quest-specific item (cannot be dropped) and has a quest-related script; otherwise, the two staves are identical.

[edit] Notes

The Song of Hrormir details an adventure of the eponymous hero and the Icestaff he wielded in a confrontation with Nocturnal. That the Thieves' Guild has taken an interest in the staff may or may not just be a coincidence.
