heh..for the short period of time that i actually mudded, this was my
secret to success..there was a place in old thalos that you could pick up
two staves every reset, and also in old thalos there was a room where the
lamia's stacked up (i guess this was the room that they were first loaded
into or something)..so i'd wait until there were about 15 or so lamia's
before i'd go in and use the staff once, killing all of them :)

this happens with all area or group spells that are put on staves, so you
should (probably through policy and checking your builders) not allow
them to be put on staves..
