Blackstaff: This ghastly blackwood staff is shod with silver banding and tipped with a
skull likewise banded and decorated with runes of Iuz's cult. A blackstaff functions as a
+3 unholy quarterstaff. Anyone wielding a blackstaff gains the benefits of  protection
from good. By gripping the staff firmly and touching one creature, the cleric may cast
command or cause fear 3/day. These functions do not drain charges.

                The following uses require the expenditure of charges:

                * fireball (1 charge); useable as though it were on the cleric spell list      

                * inflict serious wounds (1 charge)

                * slay living (2 charges); requires successful melee touch attack

                * harm (2 charges); requires successful melee touch attack

                * summon monster VIII (2 charges)

Bonerod: Up to 3/day, the wielder of this thin black rod can loose a volley of sharp bone
shards that fill a 60-ft. cone, inflicting 9d6 points of piercing damage to all targets within
the area.  A successful DC 17 Reflex save reduces the damage by half.  In addition, the
wielder can cast animate dead 3/day.
