Creative Staffing: Staff Of Illusion

.

Length: 5′ 10”   Toughness: Medium
Charges: 50   Recharge Cost: High
Price: 2,000 gold

This staff can be used to create visual, auditory or olfactory illusions that can affect everyone in a 15 foot circle. Each type of illusion requires 1 point of power, so a roaring smelly ogre illusion would take 3 points. More complex illusions require more power. When the mage Artoro Fandini created the illusion of being in the Black Pit of the Demon Yash, it required 18 points, but was so realistic that fear alone killed 2 of the 4 gnolls affected by it.

The staff is made of zemma wood, which is light, but quite strong and flexible. It can come in any of 4 colors. Recharging it requires a mage of the 5th Circle or higher and costs around 1,500 gold.

Creative Staffing: Staff Of Fireballs

.

Length: 6′ 2”   Toughness: High
Charges: 20    Recharge Cost: High
Price: 3,000 gold

The only reason this staff does not cost more is that it is so popular, used ones are easily found. Most used Fireball Staves are in less than great shape, but can be repaired for a few hundred gold. Recharging does run about 2,500 god for 20 charges, but as any adventurer can tell you, nothing quite takes out foes like a fireball or two.

These staves are always made of dragonwood and are covered in runes. Rarely, a Fireball Staff will have a demon attached. Such staves hold 50 charges, but cannot be recharged and the final fireball releases the demon. This can be very dangerous. Such powerful staves seldom sell for less than 10,000 gold.

This staff does not cast spells, but it is a thing of powerful magic. Simply put, you strike an enemy with it and it hits with the perfect way to do great damage to that foe. Blades, spikes, fire, cold, silver, acid and more are some of the possibilities. It is truly devestating in combat

Made from steel decorated with gold inlay, this staff is very tough. Recharging runs 500 gold or so and can take a week. Only a mage of 9th Circle or higher will be able to recharge it.
