Master's Inferno Staff charge bug (?) - Charges being used by incorrect spells

Locke_ESO

So I finally got a Master's Inferno Staff for my Sorcerer tonight and thought I would give it a go. The charge is a 12% boost to damage and cost reduction on "Destructive Touch abilities" which isn't a major victory for me as it's a spell I don't use currently however the extra magicka still makes it well worth it. Given that I don't have Destructive Touch or it's morph Destructive Clench or Destructive Reach on my bar in anyway I was rather surprised to see the charges draining incredibly fast....

This isn't a big deal for me (the speed that it drains makes it hard to justify most of the time even if I was using it) but does anyone know if this is actually doing anything? It seems a little stupid that the staff is using charges for a spell I don't even have equipped.

It uses the charges (quite fast too) without the use of the first skill of the Drestruction Staff line. Why? I have no idea. Now I just run around with an empty Master Staff since the increase for max Magicka stays, even if no charges are remaining.

can you post a pic of it? I got the lightning staff, but would like to see the fire and ice master staves. Cant seem to find it anywhere on the net. They are all outdated since 1.6

The staff use his enchant with every magicka skill, but even with a discharged staff, the enchantment still have an effect (both the magicka bonus and the destructive touch enhancer).
