Pellet blast and staffs

[Idward Evanhand]

Lets say I am building a magical staff and one of the spells in it is "Pellet Blast". With Pellet blast you can give it a material to use, cold iron, silver, adamantine.

My question is if you provide 50 * material for all three can you cast the spell from the staff and choose which one you want to use for each casting? E.G one day I am fighting a werewolf so I use silver, then a few days I fight a faerie so I use cold iron.

[The Bald Man]

I would say yes. Further, if money is tight you might be able to get away with spending the equivalent of the most expensive of the three...but that is a bit of a stretch.

[Archaeik]

As a single spell? I think no.

As 3 separate spells available for use with the staff, yes.

Edit: that would be 4 spells if you want a casting without special material available.

[Rasmus Wagner]

Sure. It's a crap spell anyways. If it's legal for Stoneskin, it's absolutely legal for Pellet Blast.

So you're building a magical pellet gun?
