The augmented polypore staff loses the ability to cast Polypore Strike and all charges it had before being augmented. If a fully-charged staff is not cleaned of its charges before augmenting, it becomes a generic level 75 magic staff, requiring runes in inventory to cast spells. Weapon gizmos charged with perks can be used to enhance the weapon's abilities. As a two-handed item, the Augmented polypore staff can hold 2 gizmos, allowing up to 4 perks (2 perks each).
