Manticore Staff
Manticore Staff is weapon 25 of 30 for the Mage, and it drops in Atlans Abyss, Crimson Flame's Icarus, Temple of Arnil, Gray Aida.
Lore
The Manticore Staff curves at the tip like a manticore's tail, and they say it was made from the tail of the very beast that gave its stinger to the Manticore Sword. The mages who carry it swear the beast still growls when a spell goes off.
For the Mage, it is proof that even venom can serve the light. It falls from the Lizard King of Abyss, boss of Atlans Abyss, and from Crimson Flame's Phantom Knight, boss of Crimson Flame's Icarus, as well as from the hordes of the Temple of Arnil and Gray Aida.

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.
