Staff of Night

This staff of black wood is carved with runes of darkness, stars, and night⁠—​including one rune resembling an umber hulk.

The staff grants its wielder immunity to an umber hulk’s confusing gaze in addition to allowing the use of the following spells:

• Darkvision (1 charge)
• Low-light vision (1 charge)
• Darkness (can counter or dispel any light spell regardless of level) (1 charge)
• Summon monster VI (summons one fiendish umber hulk only, usable once per week) (2 charges)

If the summoned fiendish umber hulk is slain, the staff crumbles to dust.

Prerequisites: Craft Staff, darkness, darkvision, dispel magic, low-light vision, summon monster VI.

Cost to Create: 15,000 gp, 1,200 XP, 30 days.
