Righteous Rod of Runes

The  is commonly carried by Dwarvish Priests.

Abilities
All targets within a radius around the wielder become invulnerable to lightning.


 * The Lighting Damage Aura is a unique ability. When activated, it generates a large radius within which all targets take frequent pulses of moderate lightning damage.
 * Note that creatures within the staff's protective inner radius will NOT be affected by the damage aura.
 * Best Use: This staff is best used for its lightning immunity passive buff. In particular, it is one of the few relatively safe ways to employ the Thunder Storm magick.

Pros

 * Continuous protection from Lightning, which is a common component in the most damaging spells.
 * With careful maneuvering (and Rain), the damage aura is a fairly good area damage effect.

Cons

 * The lightning damage aura does not affect units who get too close (within the lightning immunity aura), so careful positioning is necessary for full effect.
