Type	Magical staves
Name	staff of Olgreb
Icon

It was the magical weapon wielded by the mighty wizard Olgreb before he met his fate somewhere within these dungeons. It grants its wielder resistance to the effects of poison and increases their ability to use venomous magic, and carries magical powers which can be evoked.

The staff of Olgreb is a rare magical staff which aids in the casting of Poison Magic, much like a staff of poison does. Equipping it will cause it to auto-identify. Any poison spell cast while wielding the staff of Olgreb 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 poison, gaining poison resistance.

The staff can be used in combat, functioning as a quarterstaff with enchantment bonuses to accuracy and damage equal to (Poison Magic/3). Like a staff of poison, it can poison its target in melee, although with greater likelihood:

Chance to Poison: Poison Magic×12.5%, with a separate 50% chance if that fails; even poison-resistant animals and plants can be poisoned if an additional Poison Magic×12.5% chance is successful.

You can also evoke it to cast Olgreb's Toxic Radiance against everything in your line of sight. When used successfully, there is a chance that you will also cast a second spell (Venom Bolt) at the same time against a target of your choosing.

OTR Success Rate: Evocations×16% (100% at 7 Evocations)
Venom Bolt Success Rate: Evocations×10% (100% at 10 Evocations)
Spell Power: 10+(Evocations×8)
Cost: 4 MP, 50 food
