Deconstruction Staff

"I can see the power sparkle deep within."

- Wendy

The Deconstruction Staff is an ancient staff item. When used on a structure or item, it returns 100% of the items used in the construction of that structure or item, with the exception of gems, which will always break with a "shatter". If the item has durability below 100%, you will only receive a percentage of the materials equal to the remaining durability. It cannot be used on walls that have been placed or on a placed Houndius Shootius. It drains 20 sanity per use.



Tips

 * The staff doesn't take into account modifiers in the recipe to use a different number of materials, such as the half cost with Construction Amulet. This means that, since the amulet crafts items for half the cost and the staff will return materials for full the cost, you'll always get more materials than you used if you use the staff on items made with the amulet.
 * Some items with durability that are made with a few rare ingredients (e.g. Pan Flute) can be destroyed when near depletion with the staff and crafted again to extend their usage.

Trivia

 * When used on a Pan Flute, the Mandrake that is returned will spawn planted.
 * Using it on a Pig House, Rabbit Hutch, Bird Cage, or Bird Trap will also get rid of any inhabitants still inside it.
 * It cannot be used on Merm Houses.
 * When used on a Meat Effigy, it will not restore the 30 health until the user dies or saves and quits.
