Oblivion talk:Hrormir's Icestaff

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

[edit] What the heck?

i stole the icestaff (after the thieves guild quest), and i was put in jail. i looked for it, but it wasnt there. now im in leyawinn (an actual week later) and S'drassa in the mages guild has it, as well as "fragment of hrormirs story" that i also stole. they are both still marked as stolen in his inventory.

[edit] Obtainable Before Quest?

If you are Archmage (or just a thief) is it possible to obtain the staff without starting the quest or even joining the Thieves Guild? The-manta 11:58, 16 July 2008 (EDT)

I'm not sure, but it would be a good thing to know. I think that you have to do the Misdirection quest for it to appear, but as I said, I'm not sure. Darkle 15:14, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

No, it's only available once the quest has started. It remains disabled (invisible) until that point. --Robin Hood (Talk • E-mail • Contribs) 16:55, 29 July 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Chameleon?

Can someone tell me what's the point of the chameleon effect on target? I could see it as a self buff, but on target, it seems to serve no purpose other than to make them harder to see =/ 71.123.139.164 20:37, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

Most likely for the roleplaying aspect, due to its use against Nocturnal in the Oblivion:Song_Of_Hrormir.

"..And then he saweth the Shadow of Darfang wert not his own. And so with Icestaff, he did strike not Darfang, but his Shadow, which cried. "Hold, Mortal Man!" The Shadow becameth the Hag, Bent and twisted, in her Cloak and Hood. From her faceless Shadows, she hissed. ..." —Dark Spark 23:49, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
