Item: Spellstriker Staff
A spellstriker staff is wrought iron with gleaming arcane sigils etched into its surface and a sharp point at the bottom. Used as a weapon, the staff is a +1 striking shifting staff.
Activate F (concentrate)
Frequency once per hour
Trigger You use Spellstrike with a non-cantrip spell and miss with the Strike
Effect An explosion of magical energy—stored up for the Spellstrike—explodes out. All creatures in a @Template[emanation|distance:5] take 1d6 damage per rank of the spell, with a Basic Reflex save against your spell DC. This damage is the same type the spell would have dealt, and the activation gains that trait; if the spell would have dealt multiple types of damage, choose one of them. If the damage of the explosion is mental, the save is Basic Will instead of Reflex.
Activate Cast a Spell
Effect You expend a number of charges from the staff to cast a spell from its list.
- Cantrip Ignition
- 1st Echoing Weapon, Sure Strike
- 2nd Acid Grip, Telekinetic Maneuver
Craft Requirements You have the magus's Spellstrike activity. Supply one casting of all listed ranks of all listed spells.
Critical Specialisation Effects
Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Club: You knock the target away from you up to 10 feet. This is forced movement.
