With this spell, you embue a staff or rod with a residual magical essence. The rod becomes an extension of the wizard. You may then focus your magic through it.
First, the you may make touch attack without suffering an a attack of oppertunity. Second, with a staff your reach is extended to 10'. Second, the staff concentrates magical power. Spells delivered through the rod, either by touch or aimed, gain +1 to the DC to resist them. This spell also penetrates Spell resistance, adding a +1 to the level checks to do so. Third, if the spellcaster must make a to hit roll for a spell, the wizard using an empowered staff makes these attacks at +1. Finally, it channels destructive energy, adding 1 point of damage per a die of damage if it is a area damage or single projectile spell. If it is a spell that can have more than one projectile (e. g. magic missle) that damage is increased by 1 per missle.
The material component of this spell is a gem worth at least 800 gp. The gem is not consumed in the casting.
