A zealot staff's color, iconography, and materials vary depending on the faith it's dedicated to. An Iomedaean staff might be forged of gold and shaped like an ornamental sword, while a Lamashtan one could instead be made of blackened iron depicting monstrous faces. Used as a weapon, the staff is a +3 greater striking staff. The staff represents vehement support of the deity to whom the staff is dedicated, punishing defiance. When you prepare this staff, if you don't worship its deity, you become Drained 1 until your next daily preparations.

Activate Cast a Spell
Effect You expend a number of charges from the staff to cast a spell from its list. Add the cleric spells granted by your deity to the list for their rank and each higher rank. For example, a zealot staff of Sarenrae would add breathe fire at 1st through 7th rank, fireball at 3rd through 7th rank, and wall of fire at 4th through 7th rank.
