I have spent the last week painstakingly enchanting a small selection of high quality magical staves. Since I am a wizard, I find my own powers of spellcasting are more than sufficient for my needs. As such, I do not actually need the staves I have made. They were produced simply as a way to hone my craft; nothing more.

This means I am giving them away to certain parties that may be in need of them. If you would like an enchanted staff that fires elemental blasts at your foes, you need only make your case to me. Preference will be given to applicants who as of yet possess no useful echoes and agree to submit to some harmless tests.

No time-wasters.

A few preliminary questions, followed by applicants attempting to use their chosen staff in front of me when they come to pick it up.
Good lord. If I'd known so many people were going to become so sodding suspicious over the words "harmless tests..."

Considering the alleged behaviour of officers of the law towards our members can you blame such caution?

[telvanni]

Oh, of course not. An old man offers help, free of charge, while giving out his own name and address to perfect strangers. Who wouldn't be suspicious of such a malevolent, sinister fellow.

You must be lucky, sir, to have so few concerns. I find myself growing more wary with each passing day.

My only skill in magic so far is a spell that calls itself Arcane Shield. It is as it sounds. I am happy to demonstrate it if you wish, I have never handled a stave before and should be interested to see what happens.
