The Sages of the Silver Flame were a sect of magical warriors who fought to rid the world of all traces of fiends and their ilk. They employed a form of fire magic that was so refined and pure, it could burn away the flesh of the most powerful devils while leaving its user and their allies completely unscathed. The strongest of this order were even capable of performing healing miracles through their flames, although this art has seemingly been lost.
While no one has seen a member of this order in some time, occasionally one of these staves will turn up in magical curio shops or large auctions. Their rarity has left many to gather dust in the collections of wealthy merchants and lords, but their value for adventurers, particularly those that travel with large groups, is substantial.
Details
Weapon (Staff), rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
These staves are easily identifiable by their silver plating, intricate spiraled patterning on the haft, candelabra styled head. The most important feature in identifying a full, authentic piece however, are the five rune-carved, mithril rings that dangle from the head of the staff.
Spellcasting. While attuned to this staff, the user may to cast the spells Firebolt, Burning Hands, Aganazzar’s Scorcher, Flaming Sphere, and Fireball, using their own spell slots where necessary.
Purifying Rings. The five mithril rings crafted alongside each staff are important to the functions of the staff. Spells cast by the wielder of the staff cause one additional point of fire damage per ring attached to the staff. Each ring may be removed from the staff as an action. A creature wearing one of these rings (no attunement required) is immune to all fire damage from spells cast by the wielder of the staff.
Cleanser of Evil. Fire damage caused by spells cast by the wielder of this staff ignores any fire resistance or fire immunity of fiends.
