Illusens Staff

(For stats on this weapon, check the Weapon Tests section of the site.)

The Illusens Staff's defence and reflection is almost exactly the same as the Jhudoras Wand with the exception of being dark that is blocked rather than air.

It blocks 100% of dark. Always. If light is used with NO dark, then nothing happens defensively. If dark is used with no light, then all of the dark is blocked (with none reflected). If a person uses a light attack WITH a dark attack, you take ZERO from dark, 100% from the light, and an additional 25% from the light. That 125% light damage is resisted AS dark by species resistant to dark. In addition, 75% of the original light attack is reflected BACK to the person attacking.is

This screenshot shows how it blocks ALL damage from dark. The 12 points of damage I took were from the Winged Scarab (see Winged Scarab under unusual weapons) and the healing was the way the Staff heals 20% of your total hit points if you use it while your pet has 20% or less of its hit points remaining.

Notice the damage I do to him in this screenshot when I use just the Staff + Cautious versus his Sword of Skardsen. Yet in this screenshot, I again use just the Staff + Cautious but look at the damage difference. Yes, he used Berserk in the second screenshot, but even figuring in the additional 150%, that would still only account for 300-350 points of damage total. Where'd the extra damage come from? The light from his Seasonal Attack Pea that was reflected back at himself by the Staff.
