==Description==
==Gameplay==
By expending a charge, the wielder may summon an 8-hit die Lesser Fire Elemental for 1-hour (The creature summoned is SUMELFIR.CRE). The summoned creature spawning has a range of 20 feet. The staff has a maximum of 30 charges for this function.
The wielder may also use a charge to cast a Fireshield (Red) spell upon themselves. The spell is the same as the Wizard Spell (SPWI418). The spell is implemented at caster level 10, regardless of the wielder's actual experience level, and should have a duration of 13 rounds. The staff has a maximum of 30 charges for this function.
Once the charges in the staff are consumed, the staff will not be destroyed, but the charged abilities are disabled. The Staff can be sold to a merchant, recharged like a wand, and then purchased (or stolen if applicable) to recharge it.
One can be found in the Flame room inside The Planar Sphere, with initial charges at 20 for each function.
==Bugs==
As of BG2EE 2.6, The respective Staves of Air/Earth/Fire could charm their respective elementals, however, the sound that accompanied the charm would play on all targets even if they weren't subject to the charm itself. This is identified for correction in the pending Enhanced Edition Fix Pack (EEFP). Ref: (staf15.itm, staf16.itm, staf17.itm)
