The first five staves
listed (i.e. healing, commanding, snake, striking, withering) appear
to be drawn straight from the Old Testament of the Bible. This
parallel is made stronger by the fact two of them are usable by
Clerics only and the other three are also usable both by Clerics and
Magic-Users.
Staves of Power and
Wizardry: these two are not usable by Clerics and, as mentioned
above, introduce web as a spell effect into the game (though
it would not be a part of the official MU spell list until Greyhawk
is published a year later).
