Apex Arcanum

This exquisite staff of ebony and ivory wood is detailed with golden filigree, boasting several radiant gemstones that levitate from their settings when surging with magic. Originally forged by an ancient conclave of wizards during a golden age of magic, it was hailed as a pinnacle of arcane craftsmanship. Following a devastating power struggle that sundered their order, the staff was lost to the sea. Legends claim that its immense magical resonance can still be heard echoing from within the heart of a great, unending whirlpool.
