The Sage's Crystal Staff is a staff in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description

- Crystal spheres devour the will of the user, and this staff increases the potency of sorceries at the cost of increased FP consumption for Skills.
- Skill: Steady Chant
Boosts the strength of sorceries for a very short period. Works while equipped in either hand.
Availability[]
Dropped by Daughter of Crystal Kriemhild in the big courtyard at the highest floor of the Grand Archives.
Characteristics[]
The Sage's Crystal Staff is a staff that specializes in dealing burst damage.
This staff possesses very poor Spell Buff, and can only consistently outperform the Witchtree Branch under normal circumstances. However, when Steady Chant is activated, it gains a 30% boost to spell damage as opposed to the 10% bonus of others. The trade-off, as noted in its description, is that the variant of Steady Chant used by this staff costs much more FP than that used by others.
While the skill is active, the Sage's Crystal Staff will out-damage all other staves, even with their respective buffs; this includes titans like the Court Sorcerer's Staff at high values of Intelligence. As such, this staff is ideal for playstyles that emphasize dealing large amounts of damage in a short period of time, as opposed to steadily dealing damage over a longer interval.
