Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

A living-wood staff carved from a pale green tree. The shaft is etched with looping vines and tiny leaf motifs. Fresh emerald leaves sprout along its length, and a small canopy of interwoven twigs sits near the head. The air around it carries the scent of rain-soaked earth and new growth. When a spell is cast using the staff, the leaves unfurl and glow, as if the tree itself is breathing with magic.

Leafsprout Growth Whenever you cast a spell using this staff as your spellcasting focus, the staff sprouts a new leaf along its length. The leaves glow softly and shimmer with emerald light, brightening whenever you are near living vegetation.

Verdant Bloom If the staff has sprouted at least three leaves, you can expend 3 leaves as an action to unleash Verdant Bloom. You choose either Entangle (1st-level) or Plant Growth (3rd-level); the staff casts the chosen spell using its own energies. The spell’s save DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your spellcasting ability modifier, and the spell uses the staff’s internal spellcasting dice and targets as per the standard spell description.

Verdant Veil While you are holding this staff, you gain +1 to spell attack rolls and your spell save DC increases by 1.

Lore

The Staff of Verdant Sprouts was forged by a circle of druids who coaxed a sapling’s heartwood into a conduit for nature magic. It blooms with life whenever magic touches it, the leaves whispering with the forest’s memories.

History

Originating in the Verdant Conservatory, the staff has passed through many guardians who used its growth to heal blighted woods and guide travelers. Each owner has left a mark in the form of a new, vibrant sprout along its length.
