Wooden staff

The people of Thifth were dedicated practitioners of natural magics, with strong communities of druidic and clerical spellcasters. Dedicated tools for channeling magic, such as a staff, were unpopular as they signaled a need for an intermediary between the magician and the natural world. Nonetheless, staves, wands, and various implements were often used to heighten particular spellcasting needs for vocational specializations of magic.
