The History[edit]
According to legend, the staff was created by the Archmage Vyrgiliac. Even though Vyrgiliac was able to cast from all schools of magic, his true love was abjuration. At the level that evil wizards were attempting to become liches, he created items to battle them. This staff is one such item. Unfortunately, it was also the last artifact he ever created as the effort of creating it was too much for his already frail body. The legends also say that the staff is currently part of a white dragon’s treasure horde, although the dragon’s name is unknown.
Description[edit]
The staff is made from ash wood and is gray in color. When hit by light, it gives off a pearlescent sheen very similar to what oil in water looks like. The colors are faint and do not give off any light.
Abilities[edit]
When first wielded the staff creates the following effects on the owner:
- Gives a +2 to the CL of abjuration spells
