-A '''staff of death''' is a [[magical staff]] which acts as a [[Necromancy]] spell [[enhancer]]. Any Necromancy spell cast while wielding a staff of death will gain a boost to [[spell power]], usually causing it to deal more damage and/or last longer (the specific impact of this, if any, depends on the spell). Additionally, the wielder gains a rank of [[negative energy resistance]].

 The staff can also be used in combat, functioning as a +0 [[staff]] that may deal additional negative energy damage to targets which are not immune.

 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.
