Weapon: Summoning Staff

Summoning Staffs do not amplify magic spells or conserve MP energy, and they cannot be swapped for other weapons during a battle. Their special effect relates to the ability to summon magical creatures. Summoning Staffs are not required to summon, but by using a summoning staff, the creature that is called out will retain a boost to their natural endurance levels if called from the support of this staff, by a factor of +35%. In addition to this effect, the summoning staff can dramatically lower the summon respawn time after that summon has been defeated or returned to the magical dimension. The special crystal at the core of the staff works with a feedback aura that behaves as an extension of that wielder's magical circuits, forcing most magical spells to be cast through the end of this staff.

Significance

Summoning staffs have one focus; amplifying the power level and endurance level for summons called out using the special crystal. A wielder using this will produce the most powerful summons even while relying on the same creature. Moreover, the summon respawn cool down time will be reduced dramatically using this weapon. Staffs when used in most Leray battles cannot be swapped out for other weapons, and cannot ever be obtained through the use of generation glyphrings.

Rarity

Summoning staffs are very rare items, usually displayed in Eldora's top store once a year. The only other known way to have one made is by personal request by a top mage for a large fee. Summoning staffs are not easy to use in combat, and require that a wielder already know spells that can summon creatures in the first place.
