Re: Spell to master another wizard's staff
I just rule that the staff is no longer active when the wizard dies.
Mostly because when the wizard is alive they can just make a new one with the same abilities (not charged though).

Re: Spell to master another wizard's staff
So 'staff creation' works differently in my game, but if I was using the Legacy STAFF spells I think my preference would be to make this harder. I would make the ST cost 5 per level of the STAFF spell on the object, for example.

As the young apprentice picks up the staff he again hears the voice of his departed master in his head. "Kid, I've got one more task for you. Now carry my soul along."

Mimic Owner Password This spell allows the caster to fool a dedicated magic item into 'thinking' it is the creator/owner. This allows the caster to pick up another wizard's staff without it exploding. http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread...staff+password

If/when spells that break security measures are relatively easy and accessible, then wizards will tend to stop counting on those security measures. If someone had a spell that could seize ownership of a wizard's staff, wizards who wanted their enchanted staffs to be safe (and not attract murderous looters) might tend to put Expunge spells on them that activate if anyone tries those spells on them (or tries to dissolve the expunge spell). The net effect being you've researched a new spell which only helps against people who haven't yet learned about it and done that. |
