Elemental Runestaff

Fundamentals

An Elemental Runestaff takes on the appearance "an ancient glowbark runestaff" and is part of a set known as the elemental runestaves.

• They were auctioned off in 2006 during the Ebon Gate festival
• The staff is of natural glowbark enchantment (+22)
• The spellcasting properties will only respond to a wizard of proper attunement wielding the stave
  • Example: Only an earth wizard can use the earth staff
  • This henceforth will be considered an active stave
• A wielder may WAVE an active stave to cast the currently set spell
• A wielder may TURN an active stave to change the spell that is set
• A wielder may GAZE at the stave to view the currently set spell
• When all four staves gather they will automatically create a mana focus

Elemental Combinations

When more than one active staves is in the same room, you can TURN the staff to change the spell it will cast. Below is

>raise my rune
You raise your runestaff skyward!  Immediately the gold blazestar atop your runestaff begins spinning rapidly, emitting a radiant gold glow!

Gaze

As you gaze into the gold blazestar cap of your runestaff, tiny, brilliant specks of light trace a symbol for "Hurl Boulder" before fading away.

Turn

With no other activated runestaff present:

>turn my rune
You wave your hand around the gold blazestar magically suspended at the top of your runestaff.  Tiny specks of light flare up inside the jewel, spiralling about in a brilliant veil of color before subsiding once again into a gold glimmer.
