Battlemage also still gains charges into their staff via melee attacks every 3 melee attacks using the staff will restore 1 charge. Imbuing wands into their staff will add special effects to its melee properties (often imitating the enchantments on weapons). +4: The hero's armor ability has a 43% reduced charge cost. Mage automatically identifies potions of liquid flame and scrolls of upgrade. Also, the staff is treated as a tier-1 melee weapon with poor base stats (1-8 damage w/ +1/+2 scaling), making it a somewhat poor solution for a majority of the Mage's damage. This means that aggressively imbuing every wand found can be somewhat counterproductive.

While this lets the Mage focus upgrades on his staff and allows flexibility in wand imbue, the wand will be destroyed in the process without the Mage's tier-2 Wand Preservation talent (which has a 67% or 100% chance of returning the old wand at +0), and the staff will lose its enchantment.

When the staff's level is higher than the wand being imbued, the wand's level is completely ignored and the staff level is left unchanged.

When the staff is upgraded, but its current upgrade level is less than or equal to the wand's, the imbued wand's level overwrites the current staff level, and then one upgrade is carried over from the staff to add increase the result upgraded level by 1.When the staff is +0, the imbued wand's level overwrites the staff's current level.When imbued, the staff will emit particles at the end that align with the wand that is imbued. The staff charges almost twice as fast as a wand of equal level and has an extra charge. The staff can be imbued with the powers of any identified wand the Mage has in his possession, providing the staff with the effect of the base wand. Rather than having innate magical power in it, this staff is instead imbued with magical energy from a wand.
