Description
A gnarled length of ironwood capped with a crystal that has witnessed centuries of high magic. The staff functions as a quarterstaff +2, grants advantage on spell attack rolls, and provides spell absorption that converts opponents' spells into recharge for its 50 charges. From those charges, the wielder casts a vast list of arcane spells including conjure elemental, fireball, ice storm, plane shift, telekinesis, and wall of force. As a final option, breaking the staff in retributive strike unleashes catastrophic magical energy with planar consequences. Few archmages have parted with theirs willingly; most pass them as funerary inheritances to chosen apprentices.
