 Any caster should keep one on hand, simply to speed up MP regeneration (at least, when traveling through edible [[corpse]]-rich branches).

-A '''staff of energy''' is a [[magical staff]] which eliminates [[spell hunger]] caused by casting spells and provides some minor channeling ability. Equipping it will cause it to auto-identify.

-The staff can also be used in combat, functioning as a +0 [[staff]]. Unlike some other magical staves, it provides no additional combat effects, but you can still improve your damage output, accuracy, and attack speed through training [[Fighting]] and [[Staves]]. Even so, this is one of the least effective melee weapons available, and should be used solely for its spellcasting benefits.

-Although this staff doesn't make magic any more powerful or easy to use, it allows casters to spam high-level spells without fear of starving themselves to death every battle.

Any caster should keep one on hand simply to reduce the amount of downtime spent recovering after combat, especially when traveling through edible [[corpse]]-rich branches.
