It is about five feet long with an ornamentally bladed head, bearing a flawless sapphire in its center, and 2" diameter shaft (Staff of Mishakal appears as an ordinary wooden staff and takes its true form when its powers are used). The Blue Crystal Staff was given to Riverwind the Plainsman by the goddess Mishakal in Xak Tsaroth and was then presented to the Chieftain's Daughter Goldmoon. The staff has the Intelligence 13 and is lawful good in alignment. If the combined Intelligence, Charisma, and and level of the user (-1 per 5 wounds) is less than 23 the staff of Mishakal can control the actions of her.

The Blue Crystal Staff can cause 4d6 points of electrical damage to any evil creature and 2d6 points of electrical damage to any neutral creature who tries to wield it.

The staff strikes as a +3 weapon and adds +3 bonus to all attack rolls. When a successful attack is made, the user may choose to spend 1 charge to inflict 3, 2 charges to inflict 6, and 3 charges to inflict 9 more damages.

2 charges: Command, Cure Light Wounds, inflict light wounds, remove fear.
