Creator Ashnod
Status Unknown

The Staff of Zegon was an artifact built by Ashnod, although with some Thran inspiration and use of a powerstone. The staff was used to keep Mishra's maq fawa from approaching the city of Zegon.

History[]

The staff was described as being made of dark wood, with a dolphin's skull mounted atop it. The eye sockets held a pair of small Thran powerstone, which Ashnod at times could pluck out and disguise as jewelry like earrings. Ashnod snuck into Mishra's camp with the staff and used it on Hajar, who suffered a powerful weakness from it. Mishra was so impressed with Ashnod's design of the staff that he took her on as his apprentice.[1]

The Staff of Zegon affected the nerves of the body. The lighting in the staff upset the body's mechanism that allowed one to feel and distinguish pain. Too much upset, and the target would be incapacitated. It could also affect artifact creatures in the same manner.[1]
