 *Prior to [[0.28]], the staff had a fail check for evoking [[Olgreb's Toxic Radiance]] (but only 5 [[Evocations]] skill was required to get 100% success rate). Also, OTR could be activated from the [[v]] menu, instead of being an '''a'''bility.
 *Prior to [[0.25]], the staff of Olgreb had a chance to cast [[Venom Bolt]] as well as Olgreb's Toxic Radiance when evoked, and only had a resistance-piercing chance to inflict poison instead of dealing additional poison damage.

 Even if you don't want to use poison magic much, you may still wish to train a little Evocations to take advantage of the evocable ability. While ineffective against anything poison-resistant, [[Olgreb's Toxic Radiance]] is extremely useful against large groups of enemies, especially swarms of [[list of arthropods|insects or spiders]]. Additionally, the poison immunity granted by the staff can be extremely helpful in surviving places like the [[Spider's Nest]] or [[Snake Pit]].
