Today we release our first community reward item: Merlin's Staff

Steam player Merlin666 has requested this item be added to the game as his Early Access Reward.

The staff is average for the era except in that it has Bio-Damage.
It will be the earliest weapon in the game to be able to deal Bio-Damage.

Congratulations Merlin666.
