Curfew Staff

Scorched oak capped with an iron bowl turned upside down, the charred wood beneath it never marking a hand.

Only wizards and clerics may unlock its magic. Each charge ends one ongoing spell or magical effect within 60 feet permanently, and the caster who laid it can never lay that effect on that target or that place again. Effects maintained by a god or its equal are only suspended, for one hour. The staff suffers no other magic to hurry its bearer. When depleted it still puts out every open flame within 30 feet at a word, and none of them relight for an hour.
