+Further physical damage bonuses can be gained through training [[Staves]] and [[Fighting]]. The Staves skill also increases your accuracy and speed at which you can attack, making it highly recommended to train the skill at least up to the weapon's minimum delay first.
 The only downside to wielding a staff of cold is that it makes you less attuned to [[Fire Magic]]; all fire spells you cast will suffer a spell power penalty.
 Staves of cold, like other [[magical staves]], can sometimes be [[cursed]].
