A '''staff of enchantment''' is a [[magical staff]] which aids in the casting of [[Charms]] and [[Hexes]]. Equipping it will cause it to auto-identify. Any Charms or Hexes cast while wielding a staff of enchantments will gain a boost to [[spell power]], usually causing it to have a higher success rate and/or last longer (the specific impact of this, if any, depends on the spell). Additionally, the wielder is better protected against resistible magic spells; your [[magic resistance]] bonus from Charms/Hexes is 3× the normal amount.

This staff increases the power of charm and hex spells cast by its wielder. In the hands of a skilled person, it also increases resistance to hostile enchantments.

A staff of enchantment is a magical staff which aids in the casting of Charms and Hexes. Equipping it will cause it to auto-identify. Any Charms or Hexes cast while wielding a staff of enchantments will gain a boost to spell power, usually causing it to have a higher success rate and/or last longer (the specific impact of this, if any, depends on the spell). Additionally, the wielder is better protected against resistible magic spells: magic resistance is increased by an amount dependent on your Charms/Hexes skill.

The staff can also be used in combat, functioning as a +0, +0 staff. Unlike some other magical staves, it provides no magical combat effects, but you can still improve your damage output, accuracy, and attack speed through training Fighting and Staves.
