 DLC Item: Crown of the Ivory King
  • Dropped by Retainer enemies
  • The Black Witch's Staff is classed as a Staff, but is a catalyst for Miracles and chime Hexes also. It can be used to cast any kind of spells, but not Pyromancy.
  • Blue Flame is a Straight Sword, but can cast sorceries with its strong attack.
  • The Sanctum Shield is also a shield capable of casting sorceries, miracles and hexes
  • The Pilgrim's Spontoon is a spear capable of casting sorceries and hexes.
  • All catalysts consume slightly more stamina per cast if wielded in the left hand, like melee weapons. But unlike melee weapons, they do not deal less damage if used in the left hand.

      Wouldn’t it be cool if you could enchant staff of wisdom with a magic stone so the spells were physical damage and could scale with Ring of blades

        To the people asking below:

        There are no "best staffs", but that's not to say there aren't better staves than others for doing particular things. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. It all depends on your preferences and play-style. Do you want fast-casting but less power? Slow casting but incredible power? Versatility? etc. Look at the statistics and properties of each staff yourself, and make an informed choice.

        Personally, I like Sunset for Hexes and Staff of Wisdom for Sorceries. If I'm playing a melee hybrid then it's Black Witch Staff since it can cast everything, including Miracles. It also has great stats and decent scaling to boot.

          Again, the Retainers’Staff is missing from both this and the all weapons page, it is dropped by the sorcerers in the Ivory Crown DLC (confirmed drop on regular NG)

            I use my staves in my offhand, and occasionally when trying to cast a bunch of spells I somehow do a shield-bash motion with my staff, moving it from right to left. I'm having trouble recreating it, but I've accidentally done it at least a dozen times. I'm curious if anyone else has a clue what I'm talking about, and if they know what it is and how to do it. It seems like a parry to me, but the wiki says catalysts can't do that; Is it a bug, perhaps?

            In the mean time, I'll be continuing my own experiments, but I'm having little to no luck so far.
