Staff of Magius

Used by: Wizards; Magius, Raistlin Majere, Palin Majere

The Staff of Magius is a smooth wooden staff tipped with a bronze dragon's claw that grasps a crystal globe. It is a revered artifact of the Wizards of High Sorcery not due to its powers, but in honour of the wizard who once used it - Magius, the legendary ally of Huma. Legend say the wizard Magius aided Huma in his quest to drive dragons from the face of Krynn. Magius's staff of legend still bears the wizard's spirit and lends it to save the world Magius loved. Many mages of renown have used this staff and added to its powers. Its powers are limited only by its user.

Over the years it was presented to Raistlin after his crippling completion of the Test in Wayreth, and later presented to Palin (much to the shock of the dark elf Dalamar) after he completed his Test in the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas.
