Staff of Light

The staff of light is a power level 4 masterwork staff that can be crafted at a mystic forge. The recipe can be obtained by completing the quest Highlighting the Problem. It can be ascended at the mystic forge using ascension cores. Its special effect is a higher rune damage modifier than most other staves at the same power level. It's only lower than the necromancer's staff by 0.1. At power level 7, this equates to only a 0 - 4 damage difference between the two depending on the rune type, hit of the combo, whether it crits, and whether a magic focus is used. This will only make a difference if that damage hits a breakpoint on certain enemies (i.e. if it takes one less hit with the necromancer's staff to defeat an enemy than with this weapon). The necromancer's staff also has 20% lower durability with only 1050. Although managing durability with Magical Mending is trivial, it could make a difference in, say, the 30 waves of the fight caves.
