Esteban's Staff

“*Use your staff!!*”
―Ash Delgado

**Esteban's Staff** is the result of falling into the Crystal Well of Takainia, which turned his ordinary wooden walking staff into a metal lightning like staff and imbued it with a variety of magical abilities; namely teleporting in a flash of green light. Esteban used this staff as a weapon throughout his time alongside Ash Delgado and is currently still in possession of it.

## Mystical Properties

As the staff's magical abilities were Takaina's gift to Esteban, the staff existed only to do Esteban's bidding, although it could be used by others.Unlike regular magical objects like a Tamborita, Esteban's staff can cast his own spells without saying the said spell and use either Dark and Good Magic or even use both. It's unknown if his staff can do more than Teleportation.

* **Long-Range** **Teleportation:** The primary use of the staff is teleportation-related magic, either long range or short range. Esteban can cast a nonverbal teleportation spell by banging it down that envelops him and those around him in a flash of green magic. It's also shown to remote teleport objects and/or people as shown during Esteban's training and remotely summon objects like the Scepter of Light to himself. Esteban says it cannot go to the spirit world so he and Elena combined their magic together. During the Four Shades of Awesome song there was one scene where it switches Esteban's and Vuli's place without banging it to the ground.
* **Long Distance Projection:** The staff is able to show the current actions of whoever Esteban thinks in a holographic image of green light, no matter how far away they are, similar to the Scepter of Light's Farsight spell. Unlike the Farsight Spell or the Tattletale Spell, this power appears to only shows the person and place in the present time; somewhat similar to the psionic/extrasensory ability of Clairvoyance.
* **Magical Beam:** With his staff, Esteban is able to use the staff to emit/generate a beam of magic energy that can grab objects, similar to a tractor beam. Esteban's beam seems to be greater, as it started to drag Mateo, Elena, and Alazazar to hold agaisnt it.
* **Shield Creation (apparently):** Using the staff, Esteban appears to be able to create magical shields to protect himself. This was shown with his Teleportation powers and Magical Beam when he was trying to take the Scepter, it disappeared when Esteban began to concentrate more.

The power of the staff can be combined with the power of the Scepter of Light to teleport living people to the Spirit Realm, although using the objects in this way is very exhausting to the users.

## History

In Captain Mateo, while leading Ash to Takainia Esteban injures himself so he uses a wooden staff to help him walk. After a while Esteban's leg began to heal. After Elena calms herself Esteban and the staff fell into the Crystal Wells gaining magical powers. At first Esteban accidentally teleported everyone out, preventing Ash from getting the powers of Takainia and when the duo were cornered, Esteban then used it again but kelp causing chaos. After a few tries, he teleported him and Ash away. Later he and Ash went to Zopilote's lair, where he agrees to train Esteban.
