Whether it is a magestrike wand or a magestrike staff, the effects are the same. Magestrike foci are capable of firing bolts of magical energy.     Preparing a wand or staff to become a magestrike focus requires 40 gp in materials and a 1 hour ritual. Once prepared, and the spell is cast, the item is considered a magic item for all purposes. Only the caster of the spell can use a magestrike focus, although other wizards or sorcerers can “overwrite” another spellcaster’s magestrike focus with their own casting of the spell, making it their focus.    As a standard action, a wizard or sorcerer can fire one magic bolt from his magestrike focus. Hitting the target requires a ranged attack roll. The magestrike bolt does 1d4 damage, plus the spellcaster’s primary attribute (Intelligence for wizards, Charisma for sorcerers). This damage is a force effect, and can thus affect incorporeal creatures. The bolt is treated as a weapon attack, with a 40 feet range increment and critical threat/multiplier of 20/x2.     Magestrike foci can be enhanced in the same manner as weapons. The focus must be a masterwork item (+300 gp in cost), and the enhancements apply to the bolt. If enhancements are added to a staff foci, melee enhancements and magestrike enhancements are paid for separately.Basics on higher level versions:Greater Magestrike: 3rd level, 1200 gp, 1d6 damage, 19-20/x2Master Magestrike: 6th level, 4500 gp, 1d8 damage, allows for multiple attacksUltimate Magestrike: 9th level, 16,000 gp, 1d10 damage, doubled range increment</blockquote>
