Staff of the Dead

The staff of the Dead is a one-handed staff that requires 75 Magic and 75 Attack to wield. It is dropped by K'ril Tsutsaroth.

The staff of the Dead features a number of properties that are very useful to mages:
 * The Slayer Dart spell could be cast using this staff.
 * The staff has a special attack that halves all melee damage for one minute, stacking with the PvP damage reduction effect of the Protect from Melee prayer. This special feature would consume 100% of your special attack.
 * When a combat spell is cast with the staff, there is a 1/8 (12.5%) chance that the staff will negate the rune cost for that spell.
