Grand magus staff is a relic, one of the unique treasures Tellan, the Keeper of Tallies keeps among the Mnemoliths when the world is unmade. The tall staff holds an old piece of Covenant-stuff, the substance of the Seal-shards. Like every made thing it is Plain. Its treasure spirit answers to Wefan, the Weaver.
No maker is recorded, and where its shard lay before is unknown. Guild artisans say it was bound as one of a pair with Lunar rod, by a single hand. Where the rod strikes at mind and body, the staff strikes with the raw elements.
In battle it takes the place each side keeps for a work of its own. Before the armies close, the staff looses a great bolt at an enemy company. The bolt may be lightning, cold or fire, and the staff selects both the element and the target. The staff delivers the blow; its holder does not become a caster by lifting it.
Its hunger is patience and chance. After each use the staff must rest for a long span of turns before it will strike again.
Between battles it rests in the treasury, and heaven weighs it there. The staff makes its kingdom heavier in Weight, and the Law of Equals brings stronger rivals within reach.
