History
- This item was introduced in 0.30, replacing the staff of Battle.
- Previously, you could hit enemies with the staff to fire the battlesphere. It only boosted the Conjuration school and the battlesphere only triggered on Conjurations spells. It did not weaken your non-destructive spells. Also, the battlesphere's power was calculated as if you had cast Iskenderun's Battlesphere, instead of purely using Conjurations skill.
