# Staff of Defense *Staff, weapon, rare (requires attunement by a bard, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard)* - **Damage**: - One-handed: 1d6 bludgeoning - Two-handed: 1d8 bludgeoning - **Properties**: [Versatile](/Rules/Source/item-properties.md#Versatile) - **Weight**: 3.0 lbs. This slender, hollow staff is made of glass yet is as strong as oak. It weighs 3 pounds. While holding the staff, you have a +1 bonus to your Armor Class. ## Spells The staff has 10 charges. While holding it, you can expend the requisite number of charges to cast one of the following spells from the staff: [mage armor](/Rules/Source/spells/mage-armor-xphb.md) (1 charge) or [shield](/Rules/Source/spells/shield-xphb.md) (2 charges). The staff regains `dice:1d6+4|noform|noparens|avg` (`1d6 + 4`) expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the staff's last charge, roll a `dice:d20|noform|noparens|avg` (`d20`). On a 1, the staff shatters and is destroyed. *Source: Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk p. 220*
