~ Branch of the Cursed Tree Barnstokkr v1. 0a ~ by Ashtar01
=====================
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 Legend of the Cursed Tree Barnstokkr ~
This twisted length of wood, carved with strange symbols, is one of the branches of the legendary Barnstokkr, a cursed tree located south of Kokari Wilds, in lands unknown. The legend says that the tree is doomed to burn forever because of a curse invoked by a witch who, before dying, killed all the Templars that was hunting, causing a huge explosion of flames malignant, near the oldest tree of the forest where she lived. Since then, the tree burns eternally in these flames that are full of hatred, bitterness and rage. Probably, the symbols that were carved on the branch, used to contain and control the terrible evil energy emanating from these flames. Do not want to know where your Mabari found this branch, much less whom he belonged.

The status was based on Staff of the Magister Lord. It has also an evil custom projectile.
Hope you enjoy and have fun! :)
