Mindspike

The Mindspike is a changeable version of the standard staves, the Staff of air, water, fire and earth. The mindspike (air) can be obtained as a drop from killing the Troll General during the Troll Warzone tutorial, or after as a drop from killing Troll shamans, which are in the east portion of the Troll cave north of Burthorpe. You can change the element of the mindspike by right-clicking on the item and selecting "Change element", making it a mindspike (water), mindspike (earth) or mindspike (fire). You can change the element back and forth with no tangible limitations.

Note: If you want a second Mindspike, you must change the element of the staff to any element other than air. Even if there is an Mindspike air staff in your bank, you cannot recieve a second staff unless the element is changed. Once a second staff is dropped, you can change all staffs to any element so that they may stack in a bank.

All mindspikes have the same special attack, which takes up 75% of the special attack bar and is a rune-free fire-type spell which has a 100% chance of inflicting 50 damage. This attack can only be used in melee range.

While this staff is easy obtainable for lower levels it has the highest magic accuracy and defense when compared to any other elemental staves (even Battle and Mystic staves). Furthermore it also offers a +1 bonus to prayer. This makes this staff a very good choice when training Magic. However these advantages are at the cost of the melee bonuses that the other staves have.

Trivia

 * The Mindspike is the fourth magic weapon with a special attack, after the Staff of light, Penance trident and Penance master trident.
 * The trolls seem not to drop Mindspike if you already have an air-aligned Mindspike in your bank or inventory. You can get around this by changing the element of your Mindspikes, however.
