The staff of death (unidentified as a gnarled staff) is a polearm which provides faster spell recharge ability for a stored death spell. Unlike most polearms, this staff suffers a penalty when fighting larger creatures.

Obtained From[]

Spell Binding[]

  • The staff can bind one spell to it that the spellcaster already has memorized;
  • The spell must be successfully cast to store and the staff will start to recharge;
  • When fully charged, the spell can be cast from the spell without the use of mana;
  • The staff can be attached with one precious gem to increase spell storage capacity;
  • Changing the spell will require a new gem and will destroy the bound gem in the process.

Charging[]

  • The staff will only recharge if wielded;
  • The staff of death fully recharges after a kill;
  • An unbound +0 staff of death can only hold one charge of the spell;
  • Each positive enchantment gives the staff another charge to maximum of 8 charges.
