Greetings,

I just started playing war in the north, and the Loremaster got me thinking. For those who don't know, the game represents this character as having a staff and being like a wizard, but not a wizard, simply a Rivendell Elf who's a Loremaster. Whereas her fighting style is not cannon, there being loremasters in Rivendell is, and I think this should be accounted for.

                                                                   Loremaster Staff

The Loremaster Staff, or Elven Staff, would be crafted as seen to the left on a Rivendell crafting table, 2 Elven steel, 1 Edhelmir.

It would have 80 speed, 150 reach,a base damage of 5,smacking, but be loaded similar to a crossbow, with Edhelmir as ammunition. I would propose that the damage be simply 15 for the charged attack, it should have a shorter range than crossbows, but a quicker loadtime.  And perhaps deal 17 to Orcs. Upon being loaded/charged, it would gain a blue glow at the tip of the staff.

The aim for the 15 damage no matter what is to make it different from crossbows, taking into account that iron crossbows deal 12-19.

Dol Guldur Staff

The Darklore Staff, or Dol Guldur Staff, is the balance. it is also based in lore, because Dol Guldur is the Hill of Sorcerey.

Crafted on a Dol Guldur he fighting mechanics and stats would be the same, except instead of doing 17 to Orcs, it would do 17 to Elves, and be loaded with Gulduril.

Another cool feature, for both, would be if when loaded they could be used as Blue/Green lights when equiped, though this is simply a novelty.
