The staff of balance is a one-handed bladed staff which requires 75 Attack and 75 Magic to wield. It is created by bringing a Guthixian icon and a staff of the dead to Juna in the Chasm of Tears. This process is irreversible.
The staff of balance inherits all of the staff of the dead's effects. The only differences between them is that the staff of balance autocasts the Claws of Guthix god spell rather than the Flames of Zamorak god spell, and is unable to autocast Arceuus combat spells. In addition, it counts as a Zamorakian item while in the God Wars Dungeon and in the Desert Bandit Camp.
The staff of balance cannot be upgraded with a magic fang to provide the additional magic attack bonus and toxic effect given to the toxic staff of the dead.

Special attack
The staff has a special attack, Power of Death, that halves all of the opponent's melee damage, consuming 100% of the player's special attack energy. Upon activating the special attack, a message will appear in the player's chatbox:
The effect lasts for one minute after using the special attack, but will instantly end if the player takes damage while the staff is not equipped. In addition, the effect stacks with the PvP damage reduction effect of the Protect from Melee prayer. The effect does not stack with itself should the player manage to cast the effect more than once before the initial cast expires.
The special attack cannot be used in legacy duels within the Emir's Arena if magic is disabled.
This special attack is also shared with the staff of the dead, staff of light, and toxic staff of the dead.
