Time Staff

The **Time Staff** is a magic item.

## Appearance

The Time Staff looks like a long stick topped with an Amber.

## Use

The Time Staff allows the player to cast several spells to manipulate time.

### Hotbar

When the Time Staff is equipped, a vertical hotbar will appear on the right side of the screen, consisting of 6 slots, those being two basic spells and four advanced spells. The basic spells, Accelerate Time and Decelerate Time, are unlocked by default, while the advanced spells have to be crafted. The player can scroll through these by pressing the arrow keys(the up arrow will select the slot above the slot previously selected, while the down arrow will select the slot below it). The player casts the spell selected by pressing M2.

### Spells

The Time Staff is charged with a spell by using the crafting recipes listed below.

* **Items** denotes what items are used to create the spell. Not used in Accelerate Time and Decelerate Time.

* **Slot** denotes what slot number the spell is in.

* **Cost** denotes how much Mana is used by casting the spell.

* **Cooldown Length** denotes how long the player must wait before they can cast the spell again. This refers to real-life time, not in-game time.

After the spell is cast, there will be a cooldown period before it can be cast again.

## Obtaining

The Time Staff can be crafted with Bend Time, two Sticks, and five Arcane Essence at a Magic Manipulator.

## Crafting

### Magic Manipulator

**Bend Time** + **Stick x2** + **Arcane Essence x5** = **Time Staff**

**Time Staff** + **Hourglass** = **Time Staff(Stop Time)**

**Time Staff** + **Sundial** = **Time Staff(Backward in Time)**

**Time Staff** + **Grandfather Clock** = **Time Staff(Forward in Time)**

**Time Staff** + **Hourglass** + **Sundial** + **Grandfather Clock** + **Amber x15** + **Crystall Ball** = **Time Staff(Prediction)**
