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. It has a 1/512 chance of dropping it.

The staff of the dead features a number of properties that are very useful to mages:
 * The Flames of Zamorak can be autocast using this staff
 * The Slayer Dart spell can be cast using this staff.
 * This staff has one of the highest right-hand-slot magic bonuses.
 * 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.

The staff's mechanics is modeled off the Staff of light from the live game.
