Get the "bands of gold" to improve the power of the staff of azakath:
from archpriest, up, s, e, open e, kill guard, open n, n, e, down, 2s, e, open s, s, take cup, fill cup, n, w, s, w, search, open n, n, take plate, fill plate, s, e, s, pour water on plate, s, u, open coffin, kill spectre, take bands. To get out, enter coffin, search dust, open d, d, break plank, out.
Actions: 'raise staff' to unleash stored energy (most energy when it is crackling)
the number of bands on it SUPPOSEDLY raises the difficulty and weight of it. i haven't tested the weight, but with 10 bands it evaled the same for me with 1 band. the more bands you add to it. you can get it to crackling with just one band. for burning white, you need more bands and 21 intelligence.
13 strength can wield it in both hands with no bands on it. once you put a band on it, you can only wield it one-handed. any class can use it. i'd say 60+ skill for it. tetsubo is a better staff for higher skill levels, provided you can wield it.
there's an int/wis limit too, is it 22 or 29 ?
Staff of Azakath with no bands weighs 3 bottles.
