Draft:Shiren 5 Vita:Staves
This article is a draft relating to |
Staves (Japanese: 杖) are usable items that appears in Shiren the Wanderer 5 and 5 Plus. There are twenty-four variants of them in total.
Summary
Staves are like magic staves or magic wands in other D&D or other RPG games. Magic bolts aka bullets aka shots travel in a straight line indefinitely until they hit something . They have between 4-7 shots by default, though this can be increased or decreased by various means from 0-99. For most staves, throwing them at a monster and hitting it acts just as if you had shot them, so you can get an extra effect out of the staff if you don't mind destroying it, or just sell it empty for most of its value.
Trying to use a staff drains one shot even if the shot doesn't come out, e.g. if the staff is sealed. Blessed staves typically have double or otherwise improved magic effect. When the number of charges is not identified, the game shows you how many charges you've used or tried to use as a negative number. Thus, if it had a normal range of charges and you've already used 7, it is definitely empty. See Identifying Items for details.
A few staves can be used as rune ingredients, and are equally useful with any number of charges. Hence, it's sometimes a good idea to use all charges in a staff first then save it as a rune ingredient. Not many staves make runes so this information has been added to Additional Notes rather than as a separate column. See Runes for details.
Magic bolts you fire always aggro Characters, even if the bolt doesn't do any damage. Magic bolts fired by other creatures that hit Characters do not aggro them, fortunately.
