&lt;br /&gt;
The staff of necromancy is the [[base item]] for the [[artifact]] [[The Staff of Rot]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Staves of necromancy make up {{frac|200}} (0.5%) of all weapons randomly generated on the ground, in general [[shop]]s or as [[death drop]]s. Used armor dealerships and antique weapons outlets can also stock staves of necromancy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The staff of necromancy deals 1d6 damage to both small and large [[monster]]s.
