Normal, superior, magic, rare and crafted quality staves can spawn with up to three +(1-3) skill bonuses to individual Sorceress skills. All have magic level 1, so affix level (Alvl) = item level (Ilvl) + 1 All have 100 Strength bonus when calculating attack damage, so +% Damage = Strength All have +50% Damage to Undead. "Staff class" is incorrectly displayed on wands, which are rods (a common supertype of staves, wands and scepters), and on orbs, which are not even melee weapons.
