The Spectral Staff is a relic in possession of the Masters of the Mystic Arts.
History[]
Battle for the Astral Ring[]
Doctor Strange learned that Dormammu sought the Astral Ring in order to open a portal to Earth and successfully acquired it, bringing it to the Ancient Sanctum. Knowing that Dormammu would soon come to try to steal the ring, Strange attempted to hide the ring before eventually deciding to further protect it by creating a Spectral Shield using the Spectral Staff. However, unaware of the location of the staff, he asked the Soul Seeker for help locating it. The Soul Seeker eventually identified a hero who supposedly had the staff. However, the hero instead gave Strange the Urn of Undor, which he managed to combine with Oshtur's Stone and transform into the Spectral Staff. At that moment, Dormammu attempted to take the ring once again, but Strange successfully cast the shielding spell and protected the ring from Dormammu's grasp once again.[1]
Capabilities[]
The Spectral Staff was capable of generating a Spectral Shield when spun while the correct ritual spell was cast. It could also be summoned through the combination of two other relics, the Urn of Undor and Oshtur's Stone.[1]
