Staves A staff is a long stick carried in the hand for
support in walking. Typically, a staff is 5-7 feet in
length. Only a spellcaster (druid, hierophant, mage,
and sorcerer) can use the magical effects of a staff.
By nature, a staff is more potent in magic than a
rod, and a rod more potent than a wand. A staff is
activated through speaking a magical chant. Each
staff has a unique magical chant for each magical
effect. Upon creation, the creator assigns the magical
chant. If another spellcaster acquires a staff,
then they must discern the magical chant(s) somehow.
The effect of a staff does not happen immediately,
but the effect starts 2 rounds after the
caster speaks the chant. The effects of some staves
may take longer and are detailed under each staff if
necessary.
