Actions
Focus Staff
This model amplifies the spells cast by an attuned spellcaster. Any spell that requires an attack roll or saving throw can be cast through this model of siege staff. The range is magnified by a factor of 5, with a long range of up to 10 times the spell's standard range—so a fire bolt cast through a siege staff has a range of 600 feet and a long range of 1,200 feet. The spell's area of effect is doubled. If the spell normally affects a single target, it instead affects a 20-foot-radius sphere; if the spell normally requires an attack roll, targets must instead make a Dexterity saving throw. On a successful save, the target takes half damage and suffers no other effect.

description
Siege staffs, the primary form of arcane artillery, are made of wood-typically around fifteen feet long-engraved with mystic sigils and inlaid with dragonshards. Activating a siege staff takes three actions: one to prime the staff; one action to aim it; and one action to release the spell. There are several basic models, each of which serves a different purpose. When activated, it produces one effect, determined by its model.
