Councelhaut's Parasitic Staff (lvl 1 mage spell) is supposed to be a melee weapon but now does reduced damage, fires a missile (ranged weapon, basically) and procs the "blast" talent that gives wands AoE damage.

 

This is a bug, right?

Hey Timotheous,

 

Welcome to the forums and thanks for joining us! Are you still holding the staff while doing this? Or did the duration run out? Could you post up a screenshot? 

 

Thanks!
