Mourning Frost

Mourning Frost is a very rare, lightly enchanted (+1) special variant of the Quarterstaves family of weapons. It is a simple melee weapon that can be wielded in one hand, or with both hands for extra damage.

The air around this staff crackles with a cold, frosty wind - a power that has been divided for too long, and is waiting to be released.
