Bittenakten staff - Staff

Bittenakten staff: This staff is carved from the fire blackened bone of a dire bear. It is shod with adamantine, and capped with the polished and gleaming stinger of a manticore.

The wielder of a Bittenakten staff may cast

  • ray of frost (0 charges)
  • a maximized breath of frost* (2 charges),
  • greater invisibility (3 charges)

Moderate illusion and evocation; CL 8th; Craft Staff, Maximize Spell, ray of frost, breath of frost*, greater invisibility; Price 16,775 gp (335 gp per charge)

Treasure Value: 12th
NPC Gear: 13th

ray of frost: .5*1*1,800 for at will use of a cantrip, halved for staff being a limited use item, halved again for being a tertiary multiple similar = 225
breath of frost (maximized)*: 4*8*750=24,000, halved for two charged = 12,000
improved invisibility: 4*8*562.5=18000, quartered for three charges (I assume) = 4,500

*Breath of Frost is a divine version of burning hands that does half cold and half divine damage. When it is used, the whites of the caster's eyes turn black, and a cloud of ice crystals belches of his mouth whenever he uses the item's command words.
