A staff of power was a powerful magical staff.[3]

Description[]

A staff of power was usually straight with a precious gem on top.[3]

Powers[]

A staff of power has a number of potent abilities, including casting magic missile, making enemies enfeebled, creating a continual flame, allowing the user to levitate and be protected by a wall of force and globe of invulnerability, holding monsters, and using offensive spells such as lightning bolt, fireball, and cone of cold.[3]

A staff of power could also be willfully broken to release all of its charges within a 30-ft area. Upon being broken, the staff had a 50% likelihood of transporting the wielder to another plane, or else the wielder would be destroyed by spell energy.[3]

A staff of power could also be used as +2 quarterstaff.[3]

In the year 1372 DR, the name was used around Neverwinter to refer to a lesser staff which could only cast fireball, magic missile, and ray of enfeeblement. Such staves could be created with quartz and a Giant fire beetle's belly, using the fireball spell according a process described in the Imaskarran Tome of Fire.[4]

Creation[]

According to Hasuraman the Muddled, a staff of power could be created with the use of the feeblemind spell and a pair of bodak teeth, within the confines of a proper wizard's laboratory.[4]
