Staffs

Necessary for Sorcery casting, all but one Staff offers the Steady Chant skill, which boosts your Sorcery damage output temporarily after activation.

Staff selection largely comes down to picking one that has a special effect that most suits your particular build and tastes, with effects ranging from gaining added stat scaling from Luck to increasing the speed of your casts.

The Archdeacon McDonnell’s trespass, the sin of channeling faith for sorcery, transformed what was once merely a symbol of ecclesiastic authority into a catalyst of sorceries.

Ancient catalyst of the Witch of Izalith and her daughters, used long before the dawn of chaos and of pyromancy.

With the birth of the Chaos Flame, the flame witches were at once both sorcerers and shamans. Faith adjusts the power of sorceries cast using this catalyst, and the staff also seems to boost the power of dark sorceries.
