Hellstaff

The Hellstaff is a weapon in Heretic. It appears to be made out of a demon's skull and spinal column. The Hellstaff is powered by runes and rapidly fires red energy projectiles similar to Doom's plasma gun. When a Tome of Power is active, the Hellstaff's firing rate slows down, and it launches powerful projectiles that rain a fiery substance on the area of impact. This weapon is always effective on ghosts.
