| Text | This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to detect the presence of traps. You have advantage on saving throws made to avoid traps. You have resistance to damage dealt by traps and you may search for traps while traveling at a normal pace rather than a slow pace.
The staff has 10 charges for the following properties. It regains 1d6+4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge roll a d20. On a 1 the staff loses its properties and becomes a non-magical quarterstaff.
Spell Traps:
You can use an action to expend 1 or more of the staff's charges to set a magical spell trap in a square that you can see within 30 feet of you. The spell trap's trigger area can be as small as a one foot square plane to as large as a ten foot cube. A successful Wisdom (Perception) check against your spell save DC allows creatures to notice a shimmering in the area, alerting them to the presence of a magical effect in the area. The next creature touching or passing through the trap's trigger area triggers the trap. That creature becomes the target of an individual spell effect or the center of an area of effect spell. The spell thus triggered uses your spell attack bonus, your spellcasting ability modifier, and your spell save DC. Any duration effects continue to the end of their described duration without requiring concentration.
Spells: alarm (1 charge), cloud of daggers (2 charges), hold person (2 charges), magic missile (1 charge), sleep (1 charge), web (2 charges)
