Iskenderun's Battlesphere

Petete: /* History */

{{version013}}

{{Spell

{{Flavour|This spell conjures a small globe of magical energy linked to the caster's own reserves of power, which will hover alongside its creator and augment their destructive might. While the battlesphere cannot take independent action, it will fire volleys of energy at the caster's enemies in near-perfect sync with its creator's own destructive conjurations.}}

{{flavour|A small globe of magical energy that follows a spellcaster. It cannot operate on its own, yet it will provide fire support, assaulting whatever its conjurer casts at with magical missiles that never miss.}}

==Useful Info==
'''Iskenderun's Battlesphere''' is a level 4 [[Conjurations]]/[[Charms]] spell which conjures a friendly [[battlesphere]] to support your magical attacks. This construct will shoot a burst of perfectly accurate, irresistible energy each time you cast a Conjurations spell, aimed at the same target you attacked (assuming it has a clear line of fire), but will eventually dissipate after running out of magical charges or timing out. The battlesphere can be targeted and destroyed by enemy attacks, but will not block your own beam spells from passing through it to strike the enemy. You may only summon one battlesphere at a time; casting it while one already exists will recall it to your location and increase both its duration and number of charges (max 20). Battlespheres die immediately when left alone on a different level.

The only conjurations that battlespheres won't support are: [[Static Discharge]], [[Conjure Flame]], [[Mephitic Cloud]], Iskenderun's Battlesphere (obviously), [[Fulminant Prism]], [[Poisonous Cloud]], [[Freezing Cloud]], [[Orb of Destruction]], [[Conjure Ball Lightning]], [[Delayed Fireball]], [[Chain Lightning]] and [[Fire Storm]].

The following spells trigger battlesphere despite not being conjurations: [[Sandblast]], [[Freeze]] and [[Airstrike]].

Damage formula: 2d(6 + Power/11)<br>
Number of charges: 4 + (1d(Power + 10)-1)/10<br>
Max. spellpower: 100

==Monster Version==
Battlespheres created by monsters function identically to your own. The following monsters can cast Iskenderun's Battlesphere:

{{monsterlink|Tengu reaver}}

{{monsterlink|Deep elf mage}}

==History==
Iskenderun's Battlesphere was added in [[0.12]].

In [[0.14]] it will be a level 5 spell.

Magical staff

2013-07-09T14:58:29Z

Petete: /* History */ 0.13 staff of energy/channeling

A [[magical staff]] is a device which enhances your spells in one of a variety of different ways. It occupies your weapon slot and can be used as a +0, +0 [[staff]] in combat if need be. Unlike normal weapons, they cannot be enchanted in any way (and neither can they be corroded). Instead, some magical staves deal additional elemental damage based on your skill in [[Evocations]] and the corresponding school of magic, or provide other effects.

All magical staves auto-identify when wielded, but be aware that they can be [[cursed]].

==Enhancer Staves==
The following staves all serve as [[spell power]] multipliers for spells of their respective [[spell school]], while penalizing spells of their opposing school (if any). Some may also add elemental damage or other effects when used in melee:

{{crawlquote|'''Damage Dealt''': 0 to 1.25×(School+Evocations/2)<br>'''Chance to Activate''': (Evocations+School/2)×6.66% per hit}}

*[[Staff of fire]]: [[Fire]] damage, 1 rank of fire resistance, opposes cold.
*[[Staff of cold]]: [[Cold]] damage, 1 rank of cold resistance, opposes fire.
*[[Staff of earth]]: Physical damage, opposes air.
*[[Staff of air]]: [[Electricity]] damage, electricity resistance, opposes earth, has to pass an additional check: (Damage Done + [[Air Magic]])/20.
*[[Staff of poison]]: (50+[[Poison Magic]]×12.5)% chance to [[poison]] the target (can even affect poison-resistant living targets, but has to pass a Poison/16 chance), poison resistance.
*[[Staff of death]]: (12.5+[[Necromancy]]×12.5)% chance of [[negative energy]] damage (does not affect targets with life protection), 1 rank of life protection.
*[[Staff of conjuration]]: No bonus.
*[[Staff of summoning]]: 1 rank of [[warding]]; if the defender is a summoned monster, casts [[Abjuration]] against it at [[spell power]] equal to the damage other staves would deal.

==Other Staves==
The following staves have effects independent of spell schools:
*[[Staff of wizardry]]: Much like a [[ring of wizardry]], it improves your [[spell success]] rate.
*[[Staff of energy]]: Reduces [[spell hunger]] by 2/3.
*[[Staff of power]]: +13 max [[MP]].
*[[Staff of channeling]]: May be evoked to gain MP, with a success rate based on Evocations. Costs 50 [[nutrition]]. Although this restores less MP per use than [[Sif Muna]]'s channeling ability, it is much more efficient food-wise.

None of the above staves grant any melee bonuses.

There are also a number of [[artefact]] staves, but they are technically classified as weapons rather than magical staves. Click [[Evocable items#Staves|here]] for more details.

==History==
In [[0.13]], the [[Staff of channeling]] will be removed. The new [[Staff of energy|staves of energy]] will allow the player to channel energy.

In [[0.12]], the [[Staff of enchantment]] was removed.

Prior to [[0.8]], the chance of a magical staff auto-identifying when wielded depended on the skill of the wielder in its corresponding school (or [[Spellcasting]] if none applied).
