| Description | |
| Seeking to win the approval of the archmage Ninagauth with a gift, a wizard crafted this staff using all of his magical prowess. With a dismissive glance, the archmage rejected both the gift and the wizard's plea to be taken on as an apprentice. Undeterred, the wizard ventured to the Living Lands, traveling deep into its northern reaches. There amidst the frozen spires and glaciers he toiled in solitude, driven by an unyielding passion to perfect his gift and prove himself worthy of Ninagauth's tutelage. | |
