So I was able to do the quest and I'm the arch mage, YAY, but there is a problem. I may just not be waiting a long enough time but after a couple days, my magicka still won't return to normal. Ever since the staff was used on me I have -65 magicka without my equipment but 80 with it, I should have around 280. What should I do? If it's a glitch is there any command I can use to fix it, if it's permanent than I guess that sucks because I was playing a pure mage. If it should slowly come back that would also be nice to know.

    Look under the effects section and see what's giving you the penalties. It could be something else completely unrelated to the Staff of Magnus.

  • Did you Cleanse the Wells for an NPC? That can give you a really serious magicka debuff, for a massive boost in regen.

  • Nelson is referring to the quest Out of Balance. I don't see anyone complaining about it reducing their overall magicka total, though. There's a question about the bug.

  • I would like to hear what the active effects page says before putting any more effort into solving the problem.

Check your "Active Effects" section of your character. Anything highlighted in red represent the bad/negative effects on your character. If the Staff of Magnus effect is still there go to any of your owned beds and sleep for a 24 hour period. Then return to the arch-mage.

If the problem is not a staff and a serious disease/poison or injury. Use the appropriate potion of "Cure Disease" to cancel the effect.

If the effect is a class effect (like becoming a vampire) you'll have to do a specific mini-quest in order to have the curse lifted.

You can also remove all negative status effects by going and praying at any shrine you'll receive a blessing from that deity. If you have Hearthstone you can build some in the basement of your Manor outside of Falkreath.

  • Another option is to try going to a shrine and have the bleesing of any god. When gaining a blessing, all negative effects (except curses and equipment related) are lifted.

  • @LucasSant'Anna Absolutely I'll work that into the answer.
