Staff of the Necromancer (Magic Staff)

This staff belongs to Hodkamset, the most powerful wizard in the service of the god Set. Hodkamset made this alabaster staff from the spine bones of a dragon.
Hodkamset pursued the art of necromancy and built this item to aid in spellcasting. It was stolen from him by the priests of Osiris, in a battle two years ago, but assassins of Set retrieved it before the priests could destroy it, and once again Hodkamset wields it. It has a maximum of 25 charges, and absorbs magic as a staff of the magi. In addition, it has the following powers that cost no charges: detect magic, speak with dead, and protection from good.
The following powers cost one charge per use: animate dead, darkness 15' radius, dispel magic, and hold person.
The following powers cost two charges per use: command undead, enfeeble, feeblemind, and life level drain. This last attack form drains one life level, has a 100' range, and automatically strikes one target within that range.
