"The lyrium is just a piece of the puzzle, staves have to be enchanted...It's like your sword, I could still do damage with a large piece of long metal, but the shape and the forging is what makes it a good weapon. "  Lana explained.  The spear could likely be used as a focus, but it would not amplify her power beyond what the wand could do.  "I'm okay, I have this.  Its reach is much smaller than a staff, but I know it's capabilities very well."<br/><br/>Staves were typically made by the tranquil and Lana had quickly learned why in her time outside the tower.  Tranquils did not have a will of their own, so they were not tempted to enchant staves to have special abilities like a typical mage might.  They simply made the tool as they were ordered to do.  It had taken her a good year to figure out how to make staves and wands, but now that she had the skill, she would never want to use something that was not made by her own hand.<br/><br/>She held her own as they encountered the Darkspawn.  Lana had never been great at defense training, but being outside of the tower had forced her to learn how to take care of herself.  She was thankful when they finally reached a door though, she was wary of this evil and the way the Deep Roads resonated in her chest.  It felt as if they were nearly in the clear until the roar came forth.  She knew what it was immediately and began to move to climb up over the nearly-demolished door and turned back to help him as well.<br/><br/>Once they were both in small area over the door, she moved forward as quickly as she could, hunched.  There must have been some kind of collapse, likely due to creatures like this ogre testing their strength against the walls made to keep them confined.  The collapse had created a small tunnel and it seemed to be getting smaller by the moment as she hurried through it.  Just as she made it to the other side, she heard a loud collision of flesh against rock behind them.  She turned back to make sure that he had made it through as well.<br/><br/>The rumbles of shifting earth had already began.  She looked forward and beams of light could be seen in the distance.  If they could make it to that exit, they would be safe from the terrors of the Deep Roads.<br/><br/>"We need to run.  Fast as we can.  I can try to keep a barrier above her heads to keep any debris off of us, but I do not think this tunnel will last."  Another loud collision erupted behind them.  The Ogre was trying to get through the door and only upsetting the old tunnel more in the process.
