Although not generally a warrior's weapon of choice, staves are still effective in melee combat. Those skilled in the arcane arts have long relied upon wooden staves as channeling foci. In fact, a staff is a badge of sorts, usually carried by a Sorceress-an expert in the use of elemental magic.
Staves can have up to 3 staffmods (bonuses to specific Sorceress spells), each ranging from +1 to +3 to skill level.
All Staves give a bonus of +50% Damage to Undead.
