Bloodmote Staff These horrid and thankfully rare arcane staves are the invention of a sadistic vampire mage once in (and presumably still is) the service of Orcus tens of centuries ago. This device functions much like a staff of swarming insects save it summons a bloodmote cloud (Libris Mortis, Pg. 88) in place of an insect plague that moves according to the will of the staff user. - Summon Swarm (2 Charge) - Infestation of Maggots (2 Charges) - Monster Summoning VI: Bloodmote Cloud (3 Charges) For all purposes, this item carries the evil descriptor.
