The winter staff was used during 2007 Christmas Event to make a Snow Mage. This item has no significance after this holiday and has hence been removed. It was used, after a player had created a snowman from randomly spawning snow across RuneScape, on an inanimate snowman to animate it as a magician. In the Land of Snow or anywhere two snowmen had been created, snowmen, based on their weapon, would stage mock battles which players could take part in through snowballs.
