Staff Abilities
The wielder of the staff may expend a number of charges to cast any of the listed abilities. Doing so uses 1 action / ◈, regardless of the base use time of the ability. If wielder has the ability in their repertoire or library, or they can use it through other means, those ability use times are also reduced to ◈. The DC for any ability that requires one is 10 + Any of your casting attributes or CON + your proficiency bonus.
