A '''Staff of Light''' is a type of weapon used by high-ranking [[Necron]]s, including [[Necron Overlord|Overlords]], [[Necron Lord|Lords]] and [[Cryptek]]s.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|6}}
==Overview==
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}}
