The Staff of Voidmending is classified as a Legendary summoning weapon featuring two distinct active abilities: Burning Graveyard and Void Rift. Once you possess the weapon, head to Aurorite to complete Summoning Mastery in order to use it, rather than advancing character class levels. This mastery trains you to wield the weapon you already own rather than serving as the source for obtaining it.

Using the Staff in Combat

When engaging targets with the staff, deploy Burning Graveyard near the enemies you want to hit, then reposition to maintain room to move while the field remains active.

Summon Void Rift near your target to call down the rift pillar and deploy its 2 guaranteed Starving Warriors into combat. Because both spells run on separate cooldown timers shown on the interface, track each individual cooldown countdown to coordinate your next ability.

Troubleshooting Staff Abilities and Mastery

If staff abilities fail to activate or remain locked on your interface, check your training progress and active equipment prompts.

  1. Complete Aurorite's Training Dialogue

    If the Mastery Quest Complete banner appeared but abilities remain locked, speak to Aurorite on Sky Island again. Select the 1,000 Ichor training option and advance until the dialogue displays Then listen.

  2. Check Active Cooldown Timers

    Examine the ability icons in the lower interface. Both spells display visible countdown timers after activation, during which they cannot be recast.

  3. Check Equipment and Hotbar Prompts

    Select or equip the staff and check the displayed ability prompts. If no hotkeys appear on screen, ensure the staff is currently chosen on your active hotbar.

  4. Verify Platform Input Prompts

    Match your input to the controls shown on your current interface. PC displays show T and U, while on other platforms, follow the prompts on your screen.

Quick answers

Does unlocking Sky Sentinel grant Summoning Mastery?

No. Character class progression and weapon mastery are separate systems in The Veil. You must complete Aurorite's trial on Sky Island to unlock the abilities for the Staff of Voidmending regardless of your class.

Why is the What Answers When Called quest counter not advancing?

The trial specifically tracks raising 300 summons. Defeating enemies or dealing damage does not advance the counter; you must bring summons into the world to see the number increase.

Can Burning Graveyard and Void Rift be cast together in combat?

Yes. Burning Graveyard and Void Rift operate on independent cooldown timers and separate input prompts, allowing you to deploy the ground mist and the vertical rift pillar in the same encounter.
