- Shadow Staff: Claire acquired the Shadow Staff from troll assassin Angor Rot during their fight in the Shadow Realm over the Kill Stone. After he stole the only thing that was one step closer to saving her younger brother, she decided to keep it out of revenge. She could initially channel her magic though the staff if influenced by negative energy. The portals are also not able to cross between dimensions, like the Darklands.After a prolonged exposure to the shadow magic after she created a portal large enough for her, her teammates and her allies to escape Trollmarket, Claire's streak turned from dark blue to white and Allowed Morgana to possess her. After being exorcized by Jim, Toby, Blink and Stricklander, Claire used her newfound use of magic to sever Morgana's connection with the Shadow Staff and regained control her staff. However, she and Toby destroy the staff in order to banish Morgana permanently in the Spirit Realm.
