Key Components of a Staff Augmentation a staff must be able to do more than just hit a target. It needs to be able to interact with the environment and with the player. With this in mind, designers at Riot Games have created a staff that has two main components: the staff itself and the staff's aura. The aura is the staff's unique power, which it uses to interact with enemies or allies. The staff itself is an important part of the weapon, but it is not used for combat.
