*Staff, very rare (requires attunement by a sorcerer, warlock, or
wizard)*

This staff can be wielded as a magic quarterstaff that grants a +2 bonus
to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, you gain a +2
bonus to Armor Class, saving throws, and spell attack rolls.

The staff has 20 charges for the following properties. The staff regains
2d8 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge,
roll a d20. On a 1, the staff retains its +2 bonus to attack and damage
rolls but loses all other properties. On a 20, the staff regains 1d8 + 2
charges.

:bi:`Power Strike`. When you hit with a melee attack using the staff,
you can expend 1 charge to deal an extra 1d6 force damage to the target.

:bi:`Spells`. While holding this staff, you can use an action to expend
1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it,
using your spell save DC and spell attack bonus: *cone of cold* (5
charges), *fireball* (5th-level version, 5 charges), *globe of
invulnerability* (6 charges), *hold monster* (5 charges), *levitate* (2
charges), *lightning bolt* (5th-level version, 5 charges), *magic
missile* (1 charge), *ray of enfeeblement* (1 charge), or *wall of
force* (5 charges).

:bi:`Retributive Strike`. You can use an action to break the staff over
your knee or against a solid surface, performing a retributive strike.
The staff is destroyed and releases its remaining magic in an explosion
that expands to fill a 30-foot radius sphere centered on it.

You have a 50 percent chance to instantly travel to a random plane of
existence, avoiding the explosion. If you fail to avoid the effect, you
take force damage equal to 16 × the number of charges in the staff.
Every other creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving
throw. On a failed save, a creature takes an amount of damage based on
how far away it is from the point of origin, as shown in the following
table. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage.

+----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| Distance from Origin       | Damage                                   |
+============================+==========================================+
| 10 ft. away or closer      | 8 × the number of charges in the staff   |
+----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| 11 to 20 ft. away          | 6 × the number of charges in the staff   |
+----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
| 21 to 30 ft. away          | 4 × the number of charges in the staff   |
