GjallStaff

Gjall Summoner (don't download this version. There is another uploaded here: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/YouDied/GjallSummoner/)

A staff for the Mistlands that lets you summon a loyal Gjall to fight at your side. Upgrade the staff to command stronger Gjall — up to a fearsome two-star.

---

Features

• Custom held visual — the staff displays a glowing Tick in your hand with a purple fire effect
• Three upgrade tiers — summons 0-star, 1-star, or 2-star Gjall based on staff quality
• Tamed AI — your Gjall follows you, attacks your enemies, and ignores your allies
• Tick suppression — nearby Ticks are destroyed or converted when your Gjall is active (configurable)
• Configurable — cooldown, max active Gjall, despawn time, and eitr cost are all BepInEx config options
