Staff of Cherished Necromancy is a very rare +2 Quarterstaff that greatly enhances Necromancy spells and can use a dead creature's essence to cast a Necromancy spell without costing a spell slot.
Unlike their father, Thibault, Cherish Hollow was not afraid of zombies. Cherish was afraid of sharks, liquorice, wallpaper, Netherese artifacts, hats (large), the outdoors, the indoors, hats (small), and milk pails. Zombies were a bloody picnic.
