A Spore Staff is a scripted runestaff that emits harmful and hindering fungi dust and spores. It was introduced at the Bloodriven Village shop, The Fairy Ring in February 2023. Its different unlock tiers open up new abilities, some of which are passive/automatic, while others must be manually activated.

Tier 1

An off the shelf spore staff has access to several basic features. In addition to flares, it releases stacking spore bursts that lower the defenses of your foes, it has an effect that spreads to 1-5 targets upon death of an affected foe, and it empowers your spellcasting in mushroom-friendly terrain via Environmental Symbiosis. Its ambient messaging can be turned on or off via PROD.

Analyze

You analyze the helical lor runestaff and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

 This Spore Staff is riddled with living fungus.  Its dust and spores offer abilities to harm and hinder foes, and favorable terrains further empower it.

 It is Tier 1.

 It may be altered normally and customized by any willing merchant, provided it remains symbiotic with its fungal nature.

 You can use TOUCH, TURN, and PROD to toggle ambients (on).

 SETTINGS
   Mushrooms:    dingy leopard knight mushrooms
   Dust color:   smoky grey
   Spore color:  bone white

 ABILITIES
   Environmental Symbiosis
   Spore Flare
   Spore Burst
   Spore Expel

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the helical lor runestaff for you.
