Ascended Staff of the Mushroom Magus

This staff looks ready to crumble into dust, but as you rest upon it, you feel it's study, held together by mushroom roots and moss. You can barely see the wood under the fungi and rot, as you place your hand upon it, the rot creeps under your skin as you feel it itch and blister, your hand looks like one of a corpse, your shambling movements zombie-like. The staff is sturdy but broken, it's decay makes it stronger, as it does you. 

When moving in combat, make a DC 10 dex check, if you fail, fall prone and lose half your movement. 

When making a successful strike with the staff, spores fall onto the target, entering under their skin and into their lungs. They must make a CON save equal to your spell save.

On a failure they receive the poisoned condition and take damage equal to your halo of spores die. 

If, before they make the save, you declare you are using a spellslot, they automatically fail. 

Level 1 spellslot= 3d (halo of spores die)
2 = 6d 
3 = 9d
4 = 12d
5 = 15d
6 = 18
7 = 21
8 = 24

For every spellslot above 1st you use, take a 'decay point'.
