Hollow's Staff

Hollow's Staff is a rare +1 Quarterstaff that makes it difficult for enemies to resist the wielder's spells, and grants the wielder the Arms of Hadar spell.

This staff was wielded by Thibault Hollow, a supremely talented necromancer notable for his overwhelming fear of zombies. Many was the time when his dread lair would echo with a high-pitched shriek when one of them surprised him in a corridor, or when he was taking a bath.
