Voltaic Staff

A Voltaic Staff is a Necron weapon used only by Cryptek Ethermancers. Indeed, it can be considered their signature weapon and symbol of office. Taking on the appearance of a simple stave with an ornate head, energy continuously crackles along the length of its shaft and arcs between the exposed storage crystals that make up the headpiece. An ideal weapon for the Cryptek who wishes to demonstrate the superiority of Necron technology, the impossibly high voltages emitted by the staff are capable of being fired at extremely rapid rates. The energies unleashed by a Voltaic Staff is especially effective against vehicles, for it relies on the simple fact that the application of extreme amounts of voltage is enough to fry and drive haywire even the most sophisticated forms of technology. Just as an Ethermancer commands a Voltaic Staff, so does the Voltaic Staff command the powers of lightning.
