While holding the staff, you have a +1 bonus to your Armor Class.
The staff has 10 charges, which are used to fuel the spells within it. With the staff in hand, you can use your action to cast one of the following spells from the staff if the spell is on your class’s spell list: mage armor (1 charge) or shield (2 charges). No components are required.

Dark Gift (Gallagan) #8 The character’s mouth is magically sewn shut, preventing any form of speech – which also makes it impossible to cast spells with verbal components.

Doing so causes the character to suffer 3 (1d6) points of damage. ||
