The Summer Lords of Seelie are beautiful to behold: fair skin and fine features; wild, brilliant hair in all hues imaginable; and an intimate understanding of the workings of magic developed over thousands of years. Only the most powerful of these Lords have fashioned themselves a Golden Staff - a mark of magical mastery, this heavily-enchanted weapon is tied to the very life-force of its wielder and is capable of consuming foreign mana for later use.

*A physical attack from a Golden Staff will consume a target's mana equivalent to ½ the damage caused. Each point of mana consumed by the staff is converted to a charge. The charge pool (max 20 charges) may be used once each turn as a fast action in one of the following ways:

  • Apply or maintain magical Fire on the Staff for 1 round (1 charge)
  • Consume up to 10 charges to replenish wielder’s mana stores (2 charges = 1 mana)
  • Cast Ignite Mana (minimum 10 charges): 1d10 per charge consumed
  • Cast Mana Storm (minimum 15 charges): 1d10 per charge consumed

Once per day, touching an Enchantment with a Golden Staff results in an automatic attempt to Dispel the enchantment as the staff tries to consume its mana. This Dispel rolls 15d10 vs caster rank. A successfully dispelled enchantment siphons caster rank charges to the wielder's Charge pool.
