A staff of earth is a magical staff. It gives a spell enhancer to Earth Magic, but no resistance.

Shrapnel Damage: A random amount ranging from 0 to 1.5×(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.
