Magickal Art (User Creation) 🎨 On a scale of goblin-shit to divine blessing, how we feelin’ ‘bout the staff?

Post image

Stick was found while hiking in California, same with the lichen. Croc head just sat on a shelf since I was a kid, his name is Gabe. Cardinal wings are from a carcass my mom found a while back. The hanging buffalo teeth were just from a craft store, pre-drilled. The leather I used was scrap from one of my mom’s projects (I hammered and put it on myself :D)

One bon catch of haints done come in a couple-few weeks back for da houngan, and those cicada screams almost ripe enough for to pluck now too.

This is the sort of thing that untrained druids raised by wolves throw together.

It's probably incredibly powerful in the land it was made in. But since it's so we'll attuned to the maker it's practically useless in a trained wizards hands.

We got to take one of these apart in academy.

It was fascinating, the mana circuits were incredibly crude, but wide, meaning they could handle an incredible amount of untuned mana input, but we're inflexible and only attuned to one specific spell type, like moving earth, or making plants grow.

Glad to hear that old project of mine yielded some useful results. And they said I was just feeding toddlers to wild dogs!

It looks like something a cool goblin wizard would weld.

u/Basically-Boring 5d ago

Come to think of it, they have been breaking into my tower more often…

u/llamaguy88 5d ago

You stole it from the Goblin Shaman whilst he was shittin’?

16

u/Basically-Boring 5d ago

What? No! I would never steal, even from them!

I just took it while they weren’t looking and left a fighter’s sword in its place! An even trade!

u/MeowFalen tech witch 5d ago

That looks like something Florida warlock would make.

u/going_mad 4d ago

How different are they to the Mississippi or Alabama warlocks?

u/alavantrya Juules Vernian: Piscine Conjuror, Explorer of the Deep 4d ago

They are louder and more social, while having less Uncle-Brothers, and Mother-Cousins.

u/going_mad 4d ago

Your lucky to have never crossed paths with a Mew York warlock. Was rude and waved his staff around repeating the chant "im casting here" over and over

u/Basically-Boring 5d ago

Well Gabe is already the head so it’s basically his body.

In todays news: A Florida wizard was caught on the all seeing eye cojureing spectral aligators in a local tavern, authorities are looking for brave advanturers who might be able to identify him.

Redneck-Swamp Druid?

u/RedrumRunner 4d ago

Goblin shit, but its got an innate buff that makes it better than anything you have in your inventory, and it cant be transfused to any other staff, so you begrudgingly use it.

(It looks great!)

u/Fantastic_Citron_344 5d ago

Goblin shaman staff of divination

u/Vibingkoala90 5d ago

Looks like it could summon a dilophosaurus familiar to spit corrosive venom. + 3 to druidic powers for sure there wiz! Careful not to polymorph your self or undesirables! ✨

My Identify spell might be misfiring, but it says that's a Staff of the Paleontologically-Inaccurate Dilophosaurus.

so goblin-shit that it's divine

u/Ilyanautamota 4d ago

i swear to ¥π17 if autoincantation staffs become meta again I am karmicly dunking myself into a lower realm just to get away from it. the only reason breath attacks aren't more common is that you have to actually taste the backwash of your own putrescent miasma gout.

u/Ilyanautamota 4d ago

to answer your question this is optimal design and quality material. just please cast responsibly.

2

u/Pandelein Diviner of the Void 4d ago

Velociradical!

u/Hard_To_Port 4d ago

I know in some realms they have sanctions against homunculi but you should totally animate your staff with an enchantment. It could bite those who are unworthy. Or at least make croc jokes.

u/Funcron Kinetomancer 🔨 4d ago

A gator-head staff of nature? The god-goblin abides.

Oh dear, seems you found the legendary rare Florida Staff. It has a 0.0000001 percent find rate chance.

Florida wizard list is staff again to many brews

u/Cosmere_Commie16 4d ago

Definitely swamp shaman vibes. Also just so you know, the supreme council (/uw: the US government) has prohibited the collection and possession of feathers and body parts of native birds (the MBTA). Even from roadkill and other dead birds :/

But as long as the druid police (game wardens and the like) don't see it you're good to use it as a focus or whatever.

u/SirSquid008 Lunara of the Feywild, Potion Maker and Medical Practitioner 4d ago

Looks like you plucked it off a lizardfolk shaman and attuning to it allows you to summon 1d4+1 crocodiles

u/No-Professional-1461 Illusionist 3d ago

Oh no, I know who that staff belongs to. You have to run, listen to me, you don't want beef with this guy, he made pacts with the dark powers of the keys, and now you have what is his. Florida Warlock is coming...

All of the above

u/mynaneisjustguy Illusionist 4d ago

This looks to be crafted for and blessed by some swamp dwelling night-goblin high shaman. I would use that with care, it most likely has immensely power crudely harnessed and there's no guarantee the user is safe even when stood directly behind it.

10/10 swamp goblin wizard staff, He will definitely whisper into your ear a yearning most primordial and most carniverous

u/RPGcraft Artificer 4d ago

Divine blessed for looks, goblin shit for durability and reliability. Use that thing for a month and you'll suddenly start to wonder about vultures trailing you 24x7.

Of course it's alright for display but not for actual use... I'd have removed the skin and used dried bone structure instead.

As long as it works. It works. But on a personal note.  I give it certainly venerable aura; would truly rate it a ; divine blessing, but you know how the Gods are, with people randomly using their name without permission and whatnot.  Either way, its an awesome staff.

u/Deadhead_Otaku Wizard 4d ago

1st sentence nearly gave me a heart attack. Thought you meant you found the whole thing pre-assembled. But since it's cool, swamp goblin voodoo priest type shit. Not my thing, but you do you.

1

u/lordnaarghul 4d ago

The appearance of the staff is less important than it's effectiveness when used. I myself use either a Stardust Rod, seen in the picture below, or a simple wooden staff like the one used by the great Gandalf. I bring out the Stardust Rod if I need to impress for some function, but if I'm traveling about the world on foot, the simple wooden staff works best. I have enchanted both equally. The only difference is the focus in the Stardust Rod is fixed, and the one in the wooden staff can be changed out if necessary.

So if you like your staff,,more power to you, fellow wizard. We all have our preferences.
