Azal's Staff

In-Game Description

Staff of Azal, sage of Forossa.

Rather roughly crafted, but
imbued with the magic of Azal.
Greatly intensifies spells, but also
drastically reduces spell usages.

This staff, unfit for the inexperienced,
is evidence of the sage Azal's prowess.

Availability

Frozen Eleum Loyce treasure. On a corpse located on the giant broken bridge.

The Damage stats for a weapon are A / B / C / D / E: A is Physical Damage B is Magical Damage C is Fire Damage D is Lightning Damage E is Dark Damage Each weapon has one or more physical damage types: Striking Slashing Thrusting Certain enemies are weak or strong against different types of damage types.

Counter Strength:	Damage multiplier when hitting an enemy that is performing an action such as attacking. Value of 100 means no extra damage.
Poise Damage:	The ability of the weapon to break the poise of an enemy.
Durability:	The durability of the weapon. If durability hits zero, the weapon has to be repaired at a blacksmith.
Weight:	The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 70% of your Equip Weight will reduce the speed of your rolls, while going over 100% will reduce your regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave you momentarily stunned.
Stats Needed:	The Stats Needed determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively.

Also keep in mind that your character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. For example, a character with 19 Strength can wield a Great Club (Requires 28 Strength) properly if the weapon is held with both hands. (19 x 1.5 = 28.5)
