six feet long

Q: Staff – seems like a basic staff. In Blood Rites, it’s described as slender, and longer than Kincaid’s spear. Which puts it firmly in the 6’+ category. I seem to recall it is made of polished oak, and has runes carves in it. It’s from the same tree as Ebenezer’s staff. My impression is that it’s basically an all-purpose focus, but Harry seems to use it mainly for wind and force-based effects. He has used it for light on several occasions.
A: And it’s just a shade over 6 feet long.  (Kincaid’s spear was /not/ a lengthy one–about four feet of haft with an 18 inch head with crosspieces at the base of the head.  Actual boarspears were longer, but you didn’t generally hunt boars inside basements, the way Kincaid was hunting vampires.)
