A staff of air is a magical staff which aids in the casting of Air Magic. Equipping it will cause it to auto-identify. Any air spell cast while wielding a staff of air 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 is protected from electricity, gaining electricity resistance.
The staff can also be used in combat, functioning as a +0 staff that deals additional electricity damage:
Electricity Damage: A random amount ranging from 0 to 1.25×(Evocations/2+Air Magic)
Chance to Activate on a Hit: (Evocations+AirMagic/2)×6.66% per hit
Further physical damage bonuses can be gained through training Fighting and Staves. The Staves skill also increases your accuracy and the speed at which you can attack, making it well worth gaining at least a few levels.
The only downside to wielding a staff of air is that it makes you less attuned to Earth Magic; all earth spells you cast will suffer a spell power penalty.
History
Prior to 0.15, the staff of air would activate extra melee damage less frequently than other magical staves.
Prior to 0.8, the chance of a staff of air auto-identifying when wielded depended on the Air Magic skill of the wielder.
