Weapon (quarterstaff), artifact (requires attunement)
Simple weapon, melee weapon, versatile
This staff is carved from the rare wood of a festerwood tree, an oddly mushroom-like tree that grows underground. The staff is adorned with runes and sporadic fungal growth.Bolstered Symbiosis. While your Symbiotic Entity is active, you can use a bonus action to increase your temporary hit points by 1d8 per level of the spell slot expended up to your Symbiotic Entity maximum.
Sporous Smite. Once per turn when you hit a creature with this staff, you can expend a Druid spell slot to deal an extra 1d6 necrotic or resistance damage to the target, plus another 1d6 per level of the spell slot.
Symbiotic Empowerment. When you imbue this staff with Shillelagh, it empowers you, as well. While Shillelagh is active, you can attack with this weapon twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
As part of a long rest, you can meditate with the staff to exchange one of these invocations with another.
