Where would I find one for the type of magic I might be doing?

[tender]

[ oh. ]

I don't think one exists. That magic, it comes from a different place than other types. I don't know if you need a stave for it.

[nonvenomous]

[ oh. ]

I suppose I’ve managed to get this far without one.

Using blood [ where Derrica's voice dips cautiously softer over the word ] is bringing power from life. A person's vitality.

[ Richard may know this already. She is uncertain. ]

Everything else, healing, or summoning elements, it comes from our connection to the Fade. My staff makes it easier to focus what I am bringing forth.

[ For Your Consideration. ]

Did you want a stave?

[nonvenomous]

[tender]

[ alas ]

But did you want one of your own?

may BE advantageous

[tender]
