The Spellsparkler is a Rare Magic Quarterstaff in Baldur’s Gate 3 that grants a special passive feature, and you can get it in Act 1 by saving Counsellor Florrick.
Quarterstaves in Baldur’s Gate 3 are versatile, simple melee weapons accessible to all classes. Quarterstaves may not deal as much damage as some other weapons but their versatility and the availability of unique variants make them a viable choice. Starting your journey as a Druid, Monk, Wizard, or Sorcerer will get you a Quarterstaff as a starting weapon. Selecting the best Quarterstaff is crucial because your gameplay mostly depends on it if you’re a close-range player. One of the best early-game quarterstaves that players can get is The Spellsparkler. It comes with a unique passive feature that grants the wielder 2 Electric Charges upon casting any spell.
What does the spellsparkler do in BG3?
In Baldur’s Gate 3 The Spellsparkler is a Quarterstaff you can acquire during Act 1 after rescuing Counsellor Florrick from the burning inn of Waukeen’s Rest. It has a special feature called Electric Veins which grants the wielder 2 Lightning Charges each time they successfully attack an enemy. Lightning Charges provide:
- Lightning courses through you. You have +1 to Attack Rolls and deal an additional 1 Lightning damage.
- If you gain 5 charges, they are consumed the next time you deal damage, and you deal an additional 1d8 Lightning damage.
- You lose 1 charge per turn.
So when you equip this weapon, you want to make sure that the character uses it to deal damage at least once per turn, otherwise you will start to loose Lightning charges. Ideally, you want to stack these hits so that every five turns you deal the additional 1d8 Lightning damage.
For Wizards and Sorcerers this can actually be much easier to stack than for melee builds. The Electric Veins effect applies per enemy damaged. Therefore, any spells which target more than one enemy and/or area of effect spells which hit more than one opponent will generate 2 charges per damaged enemy.
Here are all The Spellsparkler features in BG3:
- Weapon Type: Quarterstaff
- Damage: 1d8 (1d6) Bludgeoning
- Requirements: Simple Weapons Proficiency
- Rarity: Rare
- Location: One of 3 possible rewards for rescuing Counsellor Florrick.

Where to get The Spellsparkler in Baldur’s Gate 3?
NOTE: Potential spoilers for Act 1 below.
This quest is part of the Rescue the Grand Duke questline. Find Waukeen’s Rest in the northwestern area of the Risen Road (directly west of the Risen Road waypoint) and travel there. You’ll find the inn has come under attack and the structure is burning. Walk into the main courtyard and north past the fountain to see a group of Fist recruits trying to break open the doors in an attempt to save Duke Ravengard. Interact with the leader and you’ll be given a chance to encourage the soldiers in their efforts.
If the recruits are successful, they will head inside, but you shouldn’t follow. Instead, turn to the east and head over to the door which is blocked by a very large Shattered Wine Barrel. Using a high Strength character (if you aren’t strong enough, try Lae’zel), move the barrel out of the way. You’ll need to push it forward, because it’s too large to pull out through the door.
Once you can get in the room, look over the left and you’ll see the remains for a second floor. Again, you’ll need to use a character with higher Strength to jump up there.
Once you are up on the second floor, move forward a ways to find a short hallway you can travel down. At the end of it you’ll find a locked, sturdy oak door. Interact with it and Counsellor Florrick will speak to you through the door and ask for your help. A dialogue prompt will let you choose to use your Strength to break down the door (10DC check).
When the Cousellor suggests leaving before the building collapses, you should follow suit. Head back out and jump back down to return to your party. When you speak to Counsellor Florrick back out in the courtyard she will thank you for saving her. She’ll offer you a single reward from a choice of three. The Spellsparkler is the third of these.
Counsellor Florrick’s Rewards in Baldur’s Gate 3
After rescuing Counsellor Florrick from the Burning Inn during the “Rescue the Grand Duke” quest, she will offer three different rewards from which you can choose one. Speak to Counsellor Florrick to get the option to choose your reward. She will offer three rare weapons which are as follows.
- The Sparky Points
- The Joltshooter
- The Spellsparkler
All three of these weapons come with an Electric Blood/Veins feature that gains 2 Electric Charges to the wielder after using the weapon. However, each weapon belongs to a different category. The Sparky Points is a Rare Trident that comes with Rush Attack, Piercing Strike, and Disarming Strike actions. It is a versatile martial weapon that is great for Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin, and Ranger classes. Moreover, as it is a throwable weapon, you can use it in the Throw Build.
The Joltshooter is a Rare Longbow that comes with a Hamstring Shot and Brace actions. It is a two-handed martial weapon that is great for Ranger and Fighter classes. Lastly, The Spellsparkler is a rare Quarterstaff that comes with Topple action by default. It is a versatile simple weapon and essential for spellcasting classes like Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, etc.
Conclusion
The Spellsparkler is a great Quarterstaff to get, especially if you are focused on an Electric Sorcerer build. This weapon can gain you an additional 2 Electric Charges every time the wielder deals damage with a spell or cantrip. If you are playing a spellcasting class, this weapon is a must-grab. However, if you are not interested in it, Counsellor Florrick does offer other weapons as well. So, choose the one that you see fit for your class and character.
