Staves

Staves are magical melee weapon. They can store [Ghost Power] for use in spells. They can also decrease the [Strength Cost] of the [Cast Spell] action.

[Ghost Power Storage] - Outside of battle, a character can transfer their [Current Ghost Power] to the [Stave]. The maximum [Ghost Power] that can be stored is equal to this stat. When using the [Cast Spell] action, the character can use the [Ghost Power] of the [Stave] instead of their own [Current Ghost Power].

[Cast Spell Strength Cost] - This stat is used as the [Strength Cost] of [Cast Spell] instead of the default value.
