I haven't found anything on Nexus but does anyone know if there are any mods that would make your staff appear as a walking staff when "sheathed?" Having the staff vanish upon sheathing is pretty lame, and I'm also not interested in having a giant staff tied to my mage's back. I thought it would be awesome to simply have the staff remain in hand and used when walking or moving around.

I have rarely used staffs, but couldn't you equip it in your left hand instead? So when you sheathe anything in your right hand, the staff would still stay there (i.e., it would operate the same as shields)?
