Question on Staffs


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

since staffs cannot be crafted by casters and we have to go to sams staff mart to buy our staffs. When we reload our staffs because staffs can be reloaded. Do we have to reload the staff with the same spell that the saff came with or can the staff be reloaded with a spell of the same level as the spell expended?

Each morning, when a spellcaster prepares spells or regains spell slots, he can also imbue one staff with a portion of his power so long as one or more of the spells cast by the staff is on his spell list and he is capable of casting at least one of the spells. Imbuing a staff with this power restores one charge to the staff, but the caster must forgo one prepared spell or spell slot of a level equal to the highest-level spell cast by the staff. For example, a 9th-level wizard with a staff of fire could imbue the staff with one charge per day by using up one of his 4th-level spells. A staff cannot gain more than one charge per day and a caster cannot imbue more than one staff per day.

You give up a spell slot equal to the highest spell level on the staff so long as you can cast any spell on the staff, which restores a single charge, and no more than a single charge per day.


You reload a staff with any spell of the highest level the staff can cast.

You need the ability to cast any spell on the staff to do this, not necessarily the highest level one.
