A true relic of the ancient empire of Thassilon, this staff appears to be specifically enchanted in order to aid its wielder in the casting of spells from the school of pyromancy. The staff itself is long and slender, composed of a jet black material. Tiny runes are etched throughout, and by examining the runes closely, you are able to see notation for various spells. No mere apprentice’s stave, this implement bears the hallmarks of a master wizard, and likely contains an equal proportion of magical energy. While holding it in hand, the slightest mental effort allows you to access the arcane symbols for many fire spells; if you truly put your mind to it, funneling some of your latent magical energies into the slender, obsidian rod, a flourish of the staff produces a geyser of flame or a shower of sparks. You are confident that by channeling one of your prepared spells into the staff, you can produce specific fiery effects. At the moment, only few of the groupings of symbols make sense, but you have a hunch that further study in the Art may allow you to further unravel meaning.
