Hellstaff
A weapon in the Heretic game series. The skull-topped Staff fires a stream of red energy bolts.
The Hellstaff is a magic staff made from a demon's skull and spinal column. It is the only weapon that is in both Heretic (Game) and Heretic II. When used, it fires a stream of glowing red energy projectiles that are similar toDoom's plasma gun. When enhanced by a Tome of Power (Object) in Heretic, the firing rate is much slower, but the projectiles are larger and more damaging, and cause a rain of energy down upon the impact point. The enhanced projectiles will also home in on enemies as long as they have been targeted by the auto-aim when fired. Maximum ammo capacity in Heretic is 100, or 200 with a Bag of Holding.In Heretic II, maximum ammo capacity is 200.
