This iconic and legendary ornate staff can be wielded as an arcane focus for your spells. While holding it, you gain a +3 bonus to your Armor Class, all saving throws, your spell save DC and spell attack rolls. The staff has 50 charges for the following properties, spells and abilities below. It regains 4d10 + 10 expended charges daily at dawn.
Spells. While holding the staff, you can use an action to expend some of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC and spellcasting ability: Charm Person (1 charge), Magic Missile (1 charge), Sleep (1 charge), Clairvoyance (3 charges), Counterspell (3 charges), Dispel Magic (3 charges), Hypnotic Pattern (3 charges), Lightning Bolt (3 charges), Major Image (3 charges), Pulse Wave (3 charges), Creation (3 charges), Fabricate (3 charges), Geas (4 charges), Divination (4 charges), Mislead (4 charges), Polymorph (4 charges), Scrying (4 charges), Conjure Elemental (5 charges), Telekinesis (5 charges), Destructive Wave (5 charges), Wall of Force (5 charges), Disintegrate (6 charges), Flesh to Stone (6 charges), Whirlwind (6 charges), Teleport (7 charges), Foresight (8 charges), Prismatic Wall (9 charges).

In addition, you learn the cantrips Shocking Grasp and Mage Hand, which count as always prepared and do not count against your cantrips known or prepared.
Flash Step. Whenever you use a spell slot or charges to cast a spell, you can immediately teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of you. In addition; When you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge to teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. If your new position is out of range of the attack, it misses you.
Twist of Fate. When you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, and roll a 9 or lower on the d20, you can use your reaction to balance fate and treat the roll as a 10. You can use this reaction for 1 charge.
Magic Mantle. While holding the staff, you have advantage on saving throws against spells, and resistance to damage from spells. In addition, you can use your reaction when another creature casts a spell that targets only you. If you do, the staff absorbs the magic of the spell, canceling its effect and gaining a number of charges equal to the absorbed spell's level.
This type of staff is thoroughly linked to the image of the spellcasting profession, rare though it is. It is among the most powerful tools that a wizard can possess, the culmination of complex enchantments and endless study. This particular example is good in melee, grants numerous powerful spells, and offers protection from charms and evil. It can also cast some of the most powerful spells in the game - thus are the favorite spells of Cameron the Clairvoyant. This is the quintessential Mage item. You can cast the spells from the staff even if they are not normally on your class spell list, and even if you do not have them known, prepared, or have the appropriate spell slot available to cast the spell. In addition, you can use the staffs charges to power your own spells, allowing you to use them instead of your spell slots. For example, you could cast any third level spell you know for 3 charges from the book. You also have advantage on Arcana checks.
