The Sanguinesti staff is a one-handed powered staff requiring 82 Magic to wield, available as a rare drop from the Theatre of Blood. Like most powered staves, it is only tradeable when it is fully uncharged. Named after the Sanguinesti region, the staff was crafted by Lord Lowerniel Drakan himself, and was given to Lady Verzik Vitur as a gift for her assistance in the Misthalin–Morytania War.[1]
The Sanguinesti staff can be combined with a holy ornament kit to make a Saradomin-themed holy Sanguinesti staff. Though its stats do not change, it makes it usable as a Saradomin item in the God Wars Dungeon.
The staff's charge cannot be used against another player in dangerous PvP, only safe minigames.

Passive effect
The staff has a unique passive effect that grants the built in spell Life leech properties. Successful hits with the spell have a 1/5 (20%) chance of dealing 8 additional damage and healing the user half the amount of hitpoints dealt to a target. This healing effect has a visible 'upwards spiral' on the enemy when triggered.
The percentage of damage healed can be calculated with the following formula:
With a max mage setup and a saturated heart, the staff heals the user for approximately 12.5% of damage dealt.
Uses
Compared to the trident of the swamp, the built-in spell hits two damage higher with a maximum base damage of 35 compared to the trident of the swamp's 33. The trident possesses the ability to envenom, while the staff possesses the healing passive effect.
Thus, the staff is most optimal in situations where venom or poison has no benefit and where healing is required. However, if the player's target is not immune to venom, players could initially use the trident of the swamp against the target until the target has been envenomed, then switch to the Sanguinesti staff. Notable encounters where the staff's healing capability proves very useful include the Kraken, the Chambers of Xeric, Dagannoth Rex, Zulrah, Nightmare, The Whisperer, and the Tombs of Amascut.
Charging
To use the staff's magic spell, it must be charged with blood runes, holding up to 20,000 charges when fully charged. Each cast requires 2 blood runes, costing 748 coins per cast. Players can configure the charges while the weapon is in their bank by right-clicking on Configure-Charges, as long as players have the required materials. The total cost to fully charge the staff with 40,000 blood runes is 14,960,000 coins. Assuming non-stop use, with one cast every 2.4 seconds equalling 1,500 casts per hour, the staff costs 1,122,000 coins per hour to use.

Players can uncharge the staff whenever and wherever they choose, getting all of the blood runes back.
Maximum hit
The base maximum hit dealt by the staff is dependent on the player's current Magic level, starting at 27 with level 82 Magic and increasing by one every three Magic levels, up to a maximum of 41 at level 123 (obtainable only through smelling salts in Tombs of Amascut). Both magic damage bonuses and visible stat boosts will modify the max hit of the spell; likewise, stat-reductions will lower the damage. Invisible boosts, such as from the staff's attack styles, do not affect the max hit. The staff always has a maximum hit of at least 6, even when reduced to 0 magic. Compared to the other three powered staves, the trident of the seas has a lower base maximum hit by 5 (max of 20 at level 75), the trident of the swamp has a lower base maximum hit by 2 (max of 24 at level 78), and Tumeken's shadow has a higher base maximum hit by 2 (max of 29 at level 85).
