Brilliant Staff
Brilliant Staff is weapon 26 of 30 for the Mage, and it drops in Temple of Arnil, Gray Aida, Old Kethotum.
Lore
The Brilliant Staff is made of crystal cut by the same Kanturu artisans who created the Brilliant Sword. Instead of a blade, they shaped a column of facets that scatters light in every direction, like a small sun held in the hand.
The Mage uses it to light the paths where rotten mana has swallowed the day. It falls from the Temple Gargoyle, boss of the Temple of Arnil, and from the Gray Witch Queen, boss of Gray Aida, as well as from the creatures of Old Kethotum.

Forging and refining
At the Blacksmith, Upgrade tab, the item goes from +0 to +6 with Jewel of Bless (PT) (always succeeds) and from +6 to +15 with Jewel of Soul (the chance drops at each level; on failure it loses 1 level, never below +6). Each + multiplies the whole piece (+15 makes it 3.23 times stronger). From +16 to +25 is the Ancestral Upgrade (PT), which burns Ancient items. In the Migrate tab, the whole + carries over to the Nightmare or Godlike version of the same item.
