Sigil Staff
|
Sigil Staff was released at Duskruin Arena in December 2018 at Sigil Shop by GameMaster Estild. The staff had been teased previous to this on the official forums and one was in the 2018 Ebon Gate feeder. Sigil Staves received a large update on February 19th and 20th, 2020. Tier 1Off the shelf, the Sigil Staff has zesty verbs and no special abilities by itself. When paired with Mana-Infused Armor of any tier, it has a chance to trigger an SMRv2 based Sigil of Binding rooting effect.AnalyzeYou analyze the faewood staff-of-Lumnis and sense that the creator has provided the following information: This is a tier 1 Sigil Staff. Tier 1: a standard staff-of-Lumnis with some special messaging Unlocked verbs: draw, hug, point, spin, touch The staff-of-Lumnis can have the color or quality of its sigils and magic effects customized with a descriptive word or phrase. Various messaging will include this custom setting. The current setting is: pale Messaging using this custom setting must make sense in the following context examples: a/an [adjective] sigil [adjective] energy/sparks/tendrils/haze Customization should remain simple, nothing so complex as to require a comma. Examples of functional customization choices: pale, dark, bright, shadowy, fiery, blue-green, coruscating violet, silver and gold Examples of nonfunctional customization choices: shapes, anything that is not an adjective, anything lengthy enough to require a comma for grammatical purposes Try to keep it to three words or less, and if three words, see prior rules. ('silver and gold' works, 'red, blue, and green' does not because of sentence structures, 'incandescent viridian and gold-speckled cerulean' is long enough to be cumbersome) When in doubt, use a distinct color. The random runes that are displayed when the staff-of-Lumnis 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 You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the faewood staff-of-Lumnis for you.

! DRAW
| You focus intently and begin a precisely ordered series of hand motions. Threads of <color> energy scribe themselves on the air before you, forming concentric geometric shapes bordered by dense lines of runes. With your final gesture, an arcane sigil bursts into being at the center of the elaborate pattern. Tier 2At this tier, spells can be TRANSFERred from scrolls onto the runestaff. The number of spells the runestaff can hold are unlocked separately (up to 6 spells total). Transferring a spell from a scroll locks it (in terms of Scroll Infusion (714)). There is also a +25 bonus to the activation check when invoking a spell from a Sigil Staff and spells invoked from a Sigil Staff receive a +15 AS/+10 CS bonus when cast. When a person transfers spells from a scroll to the sigil staff, it combines the charges of the spell already on the staff up to 40 charges. Any charges past 40 are put into a new slot on the staff if one is available. For Self-Knowledge Scrolls, this results in a higher duration for the scroll effect. At this tier, Sigil Staves acquire a scripted dispel flare (which does not take up the Cat B script slot) that triggers before a spell attack resolves and dispels up to one spell.Usage|- style="background:#00004C; vertical-align: top; font-size: larger; color:white;" ! style="width:5em;"|Style

! INVOKE <spell> <staff> Tier 3At this tier, the staff can be WAVEd at a target to dispel 1-3 spells (requires 500 mana to have been spent casting spells to fuel the ability and has a 5 minute cooldown) and adds special LOOK messaging. The scripted dispel flare that became active at Tier 2 can now affect up to 2 spells (1d2). If there aren't any active spells on the target, the target could now be subject to SMRv2-based disruption damage. This SMRv2-based skill check is formulated with a baseline effectiveness wherein the user is expected to be trained 1x in Magic Item Use. The following line will appear when you LOOK at a character holding a staff when the WAVE dispel is ready: A slowly rotating ring of sigils encircles each of <his/her> hands, scribed on the air in <color> energy.Usage|- style="background:#00004C; vertical-align: top; font-size: larger; color:white;" ! style="width:5em;"|Style

Set Bonus with Mana-Infused ArmorIf both a Sigil Staff and Mana-Infused Armor are used in combat, the staff gains the ability to flare a Sigil of Binding effect via an SMRv2 attack that roots your opponents and prevents them from using combat maneuvers. Each tier of both the Sigil Staff and Mana-Infused Armor increases the odds of a flare by 1% (up to 10%, if Tier 5 of both are used). See Also |
