Staff of Magnus

"The Staff of Magnus, one of the elder artifacts of Tamriel, was a metaphysical battery of sorts for its creator, the Arch-Mage Magnus. When used, it regenerates both a mage's health and mystical energy at remarkable rates. In time, the Staff will abandon the mage who wields it before he or she becomes too powerful and upsets the mystical balance it is sworn to protect."
— Codex Scientia

The Staff of Magnus is an ebony staff artifact that can be obtained by taking part in its artifact quest.

As stated in its description, the Staff of Magnus is enchanted with a decent health regeneration effect. While it is not as powerful as the health regeneration enchantment of the Lord's Mail, it still regenerates for 120 health points total at level 1, and reaches a respectable 2,400 points by level 20. More impressive, however, is its spell absorption effect, which is 100% effective even at level 1 and with a much greater duration than the enchantment the Necromancer's Amulet carries, particularly as the player progresses to higher levels. The Staff of Magnus' physical damage is not particularly impressive, dealing the same amount of damage as any basic staff, but its enchantments more than make up for this deficiency. This is particularly true for the three classes that can't use any other weapon artifacts - Healers, Mages, and Nightblades - and Mages and Mage subclasses in general can take full advantage of the artifact's potent spell absorption enchantment to fuel their own spellcasting for long periods of time. Along with its health regeneration effect, this makes the Staff of Magnus another artifact well-suited to long periods of dungeon exploration.

The Staff of Magnus does not directly regenerate its wielder's spell points like its description suggests; this appears to be referencing the spell absorption effect.
