 .) Starting at tier 2, Sigil Staves have a (scripted) dispel flare, for up to 1 spell, that triggers before a spell attack resolves. At tier 3, the dispel flare can affect up to 2 spells (1d2) and if no spells are active on the target, triggers a SMRv2 (using MIU ranks at 1x for baseline) and subjects the target to disruption damage if they fail. At tier 4, the dispel flare can affect up to 3 spells (1d3).

			I've made a few updates to Sigil Staves:

			1.) There is now a +25 bonus to the activation check when invoking a spell from a Sigil Staff.<br>
			2.) Invoked spells from a Sigil Staff now receive a +15 AS/+10 CS bonus when cast.
			3.) Starting at tier 2, Sigil Staves have a (scripted) dispel flare, for up to 1 spell, that triggers before a spell attack resolves. At tier 3, the dispel flare can affect up to 2 spells (1d2) and if no spells are active on the target, triggers a SMRv2 (using MIU ranks at 1x for baseline) and subjects the target to disruption damage if they fail.

			It is now possible to have a (willing) merchant customize the random runes that are displayed when a Sigil Staff is spun (SPIN). From ANALYZE:

			The random runes that are displayed when the runestaff is spun can also be customized to any list of words.

			The current setting is: luck,sunburst,celestial,forest,glacier,will-o-wisp,fire,water,earth,air,lorae'tyr,shien'tyr,grik'tyr

			''>spin my runestaff<br>
			You slowly rotate your glowbark runestaff between your flattened palms. Crackling pale filaments spin out from its surface, intertwining and forming a spiraling array of will-o-wisp runes. The runes flash briefly, then disperse.

			Any word can be used (doesn't have to be an actual rune from a runestone, but must be within reason and policy) and there is no limit to the number of words, other than the maximum length of all words (and commas) cannot exceed 512 characters. Feel free to come up with your own theme for your character!

	It'll be up to each individual player to weigh if all the benefits of the Sigil Staff (easier access to spells from scrolls, able to dispel a target, mana reduction ability, and the multicast flare) are worth it. You're mainly just getting 1 benefit from the greater elemental weapons, which is the extra flare. Even just evaluating flare ability for both runestaves, the greater elemental flare is more than likely going to trigger against a different target each time, so you have to ask yourself how often does that flare actually make a difference in combat (i.e. kills the target, thus saves you time on a follow-up attack)? Now compare that against something like an extra cast of Minor Steam or Earthen Fury. The former can easily result in 100-150 extra damage and the latter can easily result in an outright crit kill (especially since your initial cast will probably prone the target).

			You can now LOOK at the sigil staff to see if the tier 3 (dispel) or tier 4 (mana reduction) abilities are available for use.

			There is no longer a cooldown on the tier 5 multicast flare.

 No, they are a runestaff first and foremost. It would act the same as if holding any other runestaff.
