a sigil-carved glowbark runestaff crowned with a faceted white quartz crystal

AI crystal shows it as 5x. A post from 2012 says it's +22.
Doesn't seem to have any flares.
Spellup script doesn't consume mana, casts all known defensive spells (haven't tested this with spell knowledge items), doesn't cause RT, doesn't seem to require MUI, and can be used hourly.

From what I've read, two of these were auctioned in EG 2009 and two more were given as prizes in the 2011 DMC; one with a slightly different long desc.

Does anyone know anything else about this runestaff? Will the spellup script interfere with special flare scripts? Value? Can it be altered - analyze says maybe?

PUSH
You absently drag the end of your runestaff along the ground, unconsciously mirroring the pattern of sigils carved in its surface.

PRESS
You absently drag the end of your runestaff along the ground, unconsciously mirroring the pattern of sigils carved in its surface.

RUB
The crystal on top of your glowbark runestaff catches your gaze. You find yourself unconsciously giving it a polish as you momentarily lose yourself in its glowing white depths.

TAP
You sharply tap your glowbark runestaff on the ground, causing a brief flash of white light to pulse through the crystal at its crown.

WAVE
With a broad gesture, you swing your runestaff through the air leaving a trail of white light following the crystal at its top.

LEAN
You plant the end of your runestaff in the ground, casually resting your weight on it.

SHAKE
Noticing the lack of light in your runestaff's crystal, you give it a quick shake causing it to briefly flare to life again.

GAZE
You glance at at the white crystal crowning your glowbark runestaff. For a brief moment, the crystal seems to draw you towards its glow, akin to a moth to a flame.


RAISE
You abruptly raise your glowbark runestaff into the air. One at a time, the sigils carved in the runestaff's surface grow warm as you feel arcane knowledge being drawn forth from your mind. A brilliant light spills forth from the crystal at its crown, nearly blinding you with its brilliance. You find yourself completely transfixed by the light as it begins to spiral and undulate around you.

A light blue glow surrounds you.
The air thickens and begins to swirl around you.
You suddenly feel more powerful.
There is a dim flash around you.
You feel a strengthening of your internal fortitude.
There is a dim flash around you.
You feel a strengthening of your blood flow.
A dim aura surrounds you.
You begin to breathe more deeply.
A faint slick sheen makes the air about you visible for the briefest of moments, then sinks into you and disappears.
You feel more confident.
You center yourself and focus your concentration.

You slowly lower your runestaff as the light disappears, feeling secure and energized.

It's hard to gauge, I don't know if any of them have moved since the implementation and subsequent buffing of MANA SPELLUP. At 2x mana controls, I've got 12 uses of mana spellup per day. I never use them all and I don't need a staff to do it.

I would imagine it'd still have some value to someone who isn't 2x'd

If a semi can use it, then it may still have value yet

Thanks for the replies.

I wasn't sure if I should sell this for something more useful or hold on to it. Since it saves my lowbie empath a bit of mana before hunts and it was a pawnshop find, I guess it's worth keeping a little longer.

Damn, nice find from the pawnshop but yeah...these took a biiiiiig hit in value with the mana spellup change. Useful for very early level pures or semis but yeah, hard to price.
