Inert Staff of Power

Here we are! Tales of mages wielding the arcane through staves need not be mere tales much longer! What promise!

Through the use of all three known Esoteric Powers, we make these stories into reality.

First, we construct a simple assemblage of gold and copper to conduct the energy, end it with a block of purified quartz to house it, and add a plate capable of directing that power. In your situation, a piece of a solidified portal should suffice.

The resulting construct is sensitive to power expelled from nearby Crucibles. In particular, the Esoteric Powers are able to resonate with it and hone the device. This will only work if you release over half a Crucible's worth of a given Power at a time.

When the three Esoteric Powers are applied in the proper order, the staff will be fully prepared.
