Chromatic Staff
Chromatic Staff is weapon 16 of 30 for the Mage, and it drops in Kalima 2, Kalima 3, Kalima 4, Kalima 5.
Lore
The Chromatic Staff changes color with the mood of whoever holds it. It was made by a mage who studied light and wanted a staff able to show every color of mana, even in the gray lands of Kalima.
The Mage learns to read their own state of mind in the staff's colors before casting a spell. It falls from the Illusion of Kundun in Kalima 2 and Kalima 3, and from the creatures of Kalima 4 and Kalima 5.

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.
