Staff of the Ash	Fader	Meteor strike — calls down 3 meteors at the target with a 2-second warning delay

Crafting

Each staff is crafted at the appropriate station with boss materials. Higher-tier staffs require higher station levels.

The Staff of the Deep North is disabled by default. Enable it in the config (Experimental → EnableDeepNorthStaff = true) and fully restart Valheim for it to appear.

---

Configuration

All values are adjustable via BepInEx Configuration Manager.

Cooldowns (0.5 – 30 seconds, default 30s each):

• Changes take effect immediately — no restart needed
• Lowering the cooldown mid-timer scales the remaining wait proportionally; it does not grant a free cast

Damage (1 – 500, per-staff defaults):

• Controls the base damage of each staff's ability

---

Requirements

• Jotunn 2.30.2+
• Valheim 1.0.17+
