While living as an old man the wizard discovered the usefulness of carrying a staff. “I shall have to share this at the next AGM,” he decided.
Chris had been in the Alps for some years, initially adopting the guise of an old man as a pretence for using a staff to help with walking up and down hillsides- something only the very old seemed to do.
This was before wizards went into hiding, when everyone would cheekily ask the root of their power. Chris found people naturally began to believe it was the staff. Very convenient it therefore became.
