Runic staff

The Runic staff is a reward from Runespan. It can hold 500 spell charges and absorb hostile spells. It is the medium version of the staff that can be aquired from the minigame. You need 60 Runecrafting and 50 Magic to use this item.

It costs 12,500 points. It can be bought from Wizard Finix.

The staff can be aligned to any spell (combat or not) on any spellbook magic level 75 or under (you may also re-align it as long as it currently has 0 charges). You can charge all, or charge-x and discharge the staff at any time without loss of remaining runes. The staff only holds runes, so casting the spell is like normal, using either the regular cast, or autocast method (you must be on the same spell book). This staff does not autocast on its own like a polypore. Staff runes may not be used in conjunction with any other spell than the one it is aligned to.

Potential uses for the staff might be for inventory space efficiency for to store any runes dropped from a monster temporarily. For example, one could carry the staff where inventory space may be a concern such as slaying. The staff could be charged up with runes for Bones to Peaches or Blood Burst without having to waste additional inventory slots for the runes for spells up to level 75. This makes the staff a potential 1-slot healing item for slayer tasks should the need arise to heal up lost lifepoints.

Other subtle uses include for skilling such as charging up the staff for Cure Plant or Fertilize Soil spells for farm runs or charging the staff with Repair Rune Pouch for Runecrafting.
