This spell causes a ball of blue flame to appear at each end of a nonmagical staff, pole, log, club, or tree limb. The object must be of wood and have two discernible ends. The wizard cannot choose to light only one end of the staff, nor can the staff be extinguished at will.
The firestaff is a melee weapon that inflicts 1d6 hit points of damage, plus 2d4 points of flame damage, per successful attack. The staff is not a magical weapon for determining what creatures it can hit. The staff can be wielded by someone other than the caster and can ignite flammable materials as well as being used as a weapon.
The material components of this spell are a piece of phosphorous or a flame of any sort and a pinch of iron filings. The wooden object used is not consumed or altered by the spell or its flames.
Notes: Rare for Fire mages; otherwise very rare. Known to be in Galadaster's Orizon.

Definition: By means of this spell, a spellcaster can cause balls of blue flame to come into being at both ends of a nonmagical staff, pole, log, club, or tree limb. The object must be of wood and have two discernible ends; it is not consumed or altered by the spell or the spell's flames. The wizard cannot choose to cause only one end of the staff to be alight, and he or she cannot extinguish the flames at will; the spell must be allowed to expire or dispel magic must be used.
The burning staff does Id6 points of damage, plus 2d4 points flame damage, per blow (the staff is considered a magical weapon for deciding what creatures it can hit, but it has no attack bonuses). The staff can be wielded by creatures other than the caster and can ignite flammable materials as well as being used as a weapon. The material components of this spell are a piece of phosphorous or a flame of any sort, the wooden object to be used, and a pinch of iron filings.
