| A staff that increases the power of earth spells cast by its wielder. If the wielder is skilled in Evocations and Earth magic, they can shatter those struck by it, dealing substantial irresistible damage which is strongly reduced by armour. |
A staff of earth is a magical staff. It gives a spell enhancer to Earth Magic, but no resistance.
The staff can also be used in combat, functioning as a +0 staff that deals additional shrapnel damage (physical damage, reduced by AC three times):
Shrapnel Damage: A random amount ranging from 0 to 1.67×(Evocations/2 + Earth Magic)
Chance to Activate on a Hit: (Evocations + Earth Magic/2)×6.66% per hit
In addition, the Staves and Fighting skills will increase the damage done by the staff itself.
