Staff of Embers:
The staff of embers is made of stout oak that has been charred. It is the size of a normal quarterstaff, but only weighs about half as much. It has arcane runes branded in to its surface. There are 5 of these runes in all. If magic is detected for the staff will radiate strong magical energy.
There are 5 runes along the staff and each one corresponds with a power useable by the wielder of the staff. The powers are listed below:
Fireball (1 charge)
Fire Shield (2 Charges)
Delayed Blast Fireball (3 charges)
Incendiary Cloud (4 charges)
Meteor Swarm (5 Charges)
For every charge that is used the wielder will take 1 point of damage (No Save).
The staff has charges as any other staff. Any of the above spells cast at the wielder will not harm him but rather they will recharge the staff. However if the staff is taken beyond its capacity (50 Charges) it will explode in to a 30d6+30 fireball covering a 100’ radius. Luckily there is a safety function built in to the staff. If the staff reaches full capacity the wielder may make a save against the spell cast. If successful he takes full damage instead of charging the staff. If this is failed the staff absorbs the spell and…BOOM!
The staff can be used to make a retributive strike. If this is done the damage will is 1d6+1 for each remaining charge left in the staff. The wielder, and all those within 30’radius have a 70% chance of being thrown into the Elemental Plane of Fire. Otherwise the staff energy will destroy them utterly. (No save)
Strong Evocation, Craft Staff, CL20th, “Fireball”, “Fire Shield”, “Delayed Blast Fireball”, “Incendiary Cloud”, “Meteor Swarm”, Cost: 575,000gp
The Staff of Embers is the weapon of Cole, the leader of the cult known as the Servants of the Flame. He crafted the staff using knowledge gained from diabolical sources. The details of the ritual are unknown, but it is known that the ritual nearly killed Cole. Thankfully there is only one such staff in existence at this time. The chances for another to be made are thankfully low due to the cost of manufacture, both physical and bodily.
