Broad World

The method of making the Staff of the Archmage was not born in Toril, but from Boccob, the god of magic called the plane of Greyhawk. It was he who created and invented the first magician's staff, and used it as his own artifact. It was a place where magic flourished no less than Faerun's continent. Legendary mages such as Mordencan, Tansen, Bigby, Mayouf, and Otiluk who invented countless magics were all born here.

For mages and warlocks, this is almost the perfect weapon. Not only can it absorb and store the magic released by the enemy, but it can also use these energies to release various spells solidified by the staff. Some of these low-level magics don't need to consume energy at all, and can be used continuously without limit.

After destroying the portal, Henry's hanging heart was finally relieved. Now the enemy is dead or wounded, only the beholder Vaksor and Shangra are still able to fight. He took advantage of this time to identify the sub-artifact he had just obtained. You must know that if the magician's staff exceeds the upper limit of energy tolerance, it will explode.

**Wand of the Master:

Although extremely rare, this type of staff is unquestionably associated with the spellcasting profession. It is one of the most powerful weapons a wizard can possess, the result of complex magic and endless research. In the case of this staff, it works really well in melee combat, allowing the user, protection from charms, and protection from evil. It can also cast spell traps, shoot arrows that combine fireballs and lightning, and dispel spell effects from enemies. It is a classic masterpiece among many magic items. Greatly improve physical defense and magic resistance

Immune to Charm

invisible

protection from evil

Combat ability:

Dispels magic from enemies on hit

special power:

"Fireball Lightning Beam" three times a day, combining the power of fireball and lightning

Level 9 Magic "Spell Trap" once a day

Staffs can store magical energy. Level 1, including cantrips below level 1, do not count. Level 2 to level 4 spells each convert one point of energy, and levels 5 to 9 each convert two points of energy. 25/50 of this energy is now stored and can be used to cast the following spells: Consume one energy: "Dispel Magic", "Fireball", "Ice Storm", "Invisibility", "Knock", "Lightning", "Penetrate Wall", "Pyrotechnics", "Fire Wall", and "Spider Web".

Consume two points of energy: the highest level of summoning monsters, teleportation, telekinesis...

Self-explosion: Once the magician's staff exceeds the upper limit of stored energy, or the holder breaks it intentionally, it will cause a violent explosion. The power depends on the amount of stored energy. If the maximum limit is reached, even an adult dragon will be killed within ten meters.

Teleportation: When deliberately detonated. The bearer has a 50% chance of being teleported to another plane. If not teleported, the self-destruct force destroys the bearer.

This is the most powerful magic item Henry has obtained so far, and it is simply a perfect weapon for both offense and defense. It can be said that with the Staff of the Archmage, there is no need to care too much about the number of enemy spellcasters, even if it is a whole mage group. As long as you carefully maintain the frequency of absorption and release, you can completely kill the opponent.

Although he still wants to admire this masterpiece for a while. But the current situation no longer allows it. After recovering from the positive energy storm, Shangra did not hesitate to cover himself with layer after layer of protective magic, and Vaxor's eyes were all open, and he might emit deadly rays at any time. These two guys had obviously seen the destroyed portal, and knew that only by fighting to the death would they have a chance of survival.

Korgan kicked Lei Yin aside, who had only his head left, and then spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed: "Damn it! It hurts so much every time it ends!"

Obviously, this is the sequelae of the berserk. The unique special skill of this berserker is to artificially increase the secretion of adrenaline to achieve the purpose of greatly improving various physical qualities in a short period of time. But everyone knows that excessive doses of adrenaline will cause harm to the body, so after the rage is over, the soldiers will expel the remaining part through vomiting blood.

"Shut up, come here if you don't want to be affected by powerful spells." Viconia dragged the dwarf warrior behind the adamantine golem. As a dark elf, she has seen duels between high-level mages many times. Those extremely powerful magics will involve all people or objects around them. If they are unlucky, there will be no corpses left.

Henry stood calmly in the center of the room with the Archmage's staff in his hand, and an activated shield studded with eyeballs was floating in the air, ready to resist the beholder's rays at any time. He looked at the cautious Shang La with slightly upturned mouth corners, showing a mocking expression.

"How about it, dear master of symbols, do you feel that you have nowhere to go. As I said, this is a very simple choice. But you chose to destroy. Do you know? There are already many in the demiplane The spirits are wandering, and they can't find any way out. No one will know what happened here, and no one will be able to come in and rescue them."

Speaking of which, Henry turned his head and pointed at Lei Yin's skull and smiled evilly. "See that lich lady with only her head left? That's probably what you will look like in the future. Just imagine, decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years being placed in a sealed box, seeing nothing Not to see, not to hear, not even suicide. Believe me. That feeling is definitely a hundred times more terrifying than death. So hand over the phylactery. I can keep you alive and become a servant."

"Do you think you have the chance to win? No! I still have enough strength to fight back. Remember the sentence in the first book of Master's Introduction? There is no constant strength between spellcasters, everything can only be fought I don’t know. So young man, let’s have a spell duel first. Because only the winner can decide everything.” As he spoke, Shangra opened the prelude to the battle with a fifth-level magic “resistance weakening”.

Vaxor saw that his master had already made a move, and the main eye and stem eye instantly shot out colorful rays. It can be seen from its dry and wrinkled skin that this is a death-eyed tyrant. Among the beholders, undead creatures like vampires and zombies have retained most of their magical abilities. And it also has quite a bit of immunity at the same time. They are often used as bodyguards by powerful mages.

It has to be said that the cooperation between these two guys is quite tacit, one uses magic to reduce the target's resistance, and the other concentrates firepower to attack crazily. Maybe Henry would be in a hurry before he got the Archmage's staff, but now it's effortless to defend. I saw that he directly raised his staff to absorb the "resistance weakening", while the beholder rays were all blocked by the shield.

"Is this the so-called enough power? Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me at all."

Speaking of Henry, he activated the ninth-level magic "Accidental Chain" without hesitation, and the three "Karthus Crimson Flames" that had been stored in it instantly ignited the unprotected Vaxor. The dark red flames wrapped the beholder's meatball-like body. In just a few seconds, the huge body was completely burned into a black lump of coke.

He had secretly calculated just now that Shangla, who had lost an arm, could not be his opponent at all because his casting speed had been reduced by half. On the contrary, this beholder who can send out all kinds of terrifying rays along the way is very threatening. It would be too unfair if someone was accidentally hit by a dissociation hit and turned into a ball of powder, so the guy who was the most threatening was dealt with first.

Now it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, no matter what kind of cards Shangla has, it is impossible to turn the tables. You must know that Henry's casting speed itself is much faster than most mages, and with the addition of "Vecna's Robe" and "Magic Amulet", almost no one on the main material plane can match it.

Of course, this lich with a spellcasting level of 27 still hasn't cast a legendary spell, but judging from the current situation, there is no chance. Because this demiplane is so small that it only takes a few seconds to run from one end to the other. Not being able to keep a distance means that there is not enough time to cast spells. You must know that legendary spells generally require more than one minute of spells to be chanted.

As for the protective magic on his body, it couldn't stop the double cracking of Henry and the Archmage's Staff. As the former holder of this staff, Shangra knew very well what kind of effect it would have if it was hit, and all the protection would be dispelled with just one click.

Of course, if you have a "protective magic weapon" on your body, you can resist it for a while, but the opponent's own spells are obviously not vegetarian, and a cracking magic can make all your efforts come to naught. Now the lich is faced with a difficult choice, as just said, whether to surrender the phylactery and submit, or to struggle to the death and finally be put in the box and never see the light of day.
