Class Requirement. Magic-user only.

The staff of power is also a very potent magic item, with offensive and defensive abilities. 

It has these powers:

• cone of cold OR fireball

• continual light

• darkness, 5 ft. radius

• levitation

• magic missile OR lightning bolt

• ray of enfeeblement

These functions cost 1 charge each. 

The following powers drain 2 charges each:

• shield, 5 ft. radius

• globe of invulnerability

• paralyzation

Paralyzation is a ray from the end of the staff which extends in a cone 4” long and 2” wide at its base.

The wielder of this staff gains +2 on armor class and saving throws. 

He or she may use the staff to smite opponents. It strikes as a +2 magic weapon and does 3-8 hit points of damage; if 1 charge is expended, the staff does double damage, but 2 charges do not triple damage.

A staff of power can be broken for a retributive strike (cf. staff of the magi). 

The staff can be recharged. 

You may determine alternate powers shown by random die roll.
