=====================
UPDATE Version 1.0a
=====================

- new evil custom projectile.
- I did a little upgrade in the status of dark staff.
- Updated for patch 1.04.

=============
INTRODUCTION
=============

I created this staff to match with retexture of jewelry of the Robes of Possession, made by me at this address:

Robes of Possession - Retex of Jewelry V2.0


And also to give some value to the piece of wood found by your Mabari and given to you as a gift during the game. Therefore, it replaces the piece of wood by the current staff.

Here is your story:
The status was based on Staff of the Magister Lord. It has also an evil custom projectile.


Hope you enjoy and have fun! :)


=============
INSTALLATION
=============
Install it with the DAupdater:

4. Select the .dazip after it has appeared on the list and then press "Install Selected".

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
============================

"how do I get this dark staff in my game?"

1º) "Mabari version" - Ask your Mabari find something interesting. When he finds a piece of wood with curious symbols, he just found my Dark staff for you.

2º) "Standalone version" - After installing it will add the Dark Staff to your inventory when you load the game. There are two versions: with and without VFX.

"The 'VFX' effect of dark flames does not appear in "version Mabari" how to fix this? "

Because of my distraction I sent the wrong file with an error in the reference 'VFX' effect used in "version Mabari." To fix the problem just download the file "Cursed_Tree_Branch_Mabari_fixed_VFX.zip" and unzip the contents of this file in "Override" folder.
