While holding it, you gain a +2 bonus to Armor Class, saving throws, and spell attack rolls. The staff has 20 charges for the following properties. The staff regains 2d8 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff retains its +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls but loses all other properties. On a 20, the staff regains 1d8 + 2 charges. Power Strike (1 charge): Immediately after hitting a creature with a melee attack using the staff, expend 1 charge to deal an extra 1d6 force damage. Spells (1+ charge): cone of cold (5), fireball at 5th level (5), globe of invulnerability (6), hold monster (5), levitate (2), lightning bolt at 5th level (5), magic missile (1), ray of enfeeblement (1), wall of force (5). Retributive Strike: Break the staff as an action, releasing its energy in a 30-foot explosion. Each creature in the sphere must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw.
