Staff of Power (Magic Staff)

The staff of power is a very potent magical item, with offensive and defensive abilities. The powers below cost one charge each:
* continual light
* magic missile or lightning bolt
* ray of enfeeblement
* levitation
* cone of cold or fireball
The following powers drain two charges each:
* shield, 5-foot radius
* globe of invulnerability
* paralyzation*
: * Paralyzation is a ray from the end of the staff extending in a cone 40 feet long and 20 feet wide at the far end.
The DM may assign alternate powers by random die roll.
The wielder of a staff of power gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class and saving throws. He may use the staff to smite opponents. It strikes as a +2 magical weapon and inflicts 1d6+2 points of damage; if one charge is expended, the staff causes double damage, but two charges do not cause triple damage.
A staff of power can be broken for a retributive strike (see staff of the magi). The staff can be recharged.
