An exception among Necron technology, the staff does not use [[Gauss Weaponry]] principles, instead it absorbs energy from thin air to release in the form of powerful lightning bolts. A secondary effect of the energy is a steep decrease in the temperature around the wielder, the cold freezes the limbs of the opponents, mechanical or not, who shatters when hit by the staff.{{Fn|1}}
Later versions sport a [[Fractal Edged Blade]] on the top of the staff for increased damage.{{Fn|22b}}
