Parasitic Staff is an active wizard ability in Avowed, learnable at level 1 from the wizard ability tree. It can be upgraded at levels 5 and 8.
To cast Parasitic Staff, you can equip a grimoire containing the ability at level 1 or higher. Alternatively, if you own a grimoire with this ability, you can purchase it directly from the wizard ability tree, allowing you to cast it without a grimoire equipped. Purchased spells cast from a grimoire are cast at one Rank higher.
