A magical staff is a shaft or pole capable of storing spells. Staves can hold many types of spells, which makes them distinct from wands, and might also bestow passive effects or abilities.[1][2]
Usage
With most staves, spells are activated by holding them in at least one hand or appendage and invoking their power. Staves can be used by most people with experience wielding magical items, but a trained spellcaster coaxes more potent effects from them.[1]
Spells can be prepared for a staff daily.[1]
As a weapon
Staves can be wielded in a similar manner as a quarterstaff or club, with either one or two hands.[2]
