Random Magic Staff

Staff: Fiendish Darkness

First seen long ago in the hands of humans and drow who served powerful demons and devils, these staffs are made of ebony or polished bone and are often topped with a metal claw at one or both ends. The staff bestows one negative level on any good creature that holds it. The negative level remains as long as the staff is in hand and disappears when it is no longer carried. This negative level never results in actual level loss, but it cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells) while the staff is held. The staff allows the use of the following spells:

• Darkness (1 charge)
• summon monster IX (nightmare only) (2 charges)
• dispel magic (2 charges)
• animate dead (2 charges)
