does reinforcing staffs and chimes increase spell power?

does reinforcing staffs and chimes increase spell power? or does it not and its a waste of material?

I am a sorceress build, but I do not want to waste twinkling titanite on my Sunset Staff because I use mostly sorcery, so I am waiting for a Staff of Wisdom or any other "s" scaling staff for intellegence.

According to everything I've read and seen, yes it does.

[Crafty]

Yes. As long as it affects the scaling of the according element.

[Alluboy]

Yep. You can also infuse them, to further increase damage. Staffs can be infused with Magic or Dark, and chimes with Lightning or Dark. The other element gets a reduction in damage though.

So, if you infuse sorcerer staff with Dark, it's do more Dark damage, but less Magic damage.

Black Witch's Staff works as a chime AND a staff, but I'm not sure what infusions work for it, since I've never used it.

You can only reinforce them based on their compatibility (e.g. you can only make a Lightning or Dark chime). So it's generally a good idea to infuse chimes/staves with their most powerful ability.

i have all my chime, staff n shields infused, its totaly worth it.

i'm using magic, dark magic n prayers. thats my items:

dragon chime +5 lighting infused ( bolt stone )
used for all prayers, mostly great lightning spear n sunlightspear.

chime of want +5 dark infused ( darknight stone )
used for the evil stuff like climax, lifedrain, ...

sunset staff +5 dark infused ( darknight stone )
mostly used for farming with dark orb.

staff of wisdom +5 magic infused ( faint stone )
used for all the common stuff. homing soulmass, soulgreatsword, ...

---

magic shield +0 magic infused = 100% magic absorb

watcher's shield +0 lightning infused = 100% lightning absorb

transgressor's leather shield +0 dark infused = 100% dark absorb

these 3 shields are pretty evil in pvp, most people doesnt seem to know about them n i get messages bout cheating. xD
