Staff of Magius

This potent and versatile minor artifact was the test of the Ancient Raistlins mage's skill and has several offensive and defensive capabilities. The secrets used in crafting these staves have been lost, and none have been created since the Great Archmage. The staff is long wooden with a orb that looks like a dragons eye held by a golden dragon claw.
