First the King of Akanon is a Gnomish Enchanter. He usually has the human
illusion spell active. Second, While I haven't yet obtained the staff of
writhing, I do have its stats. Hmmm must be at home. Well I can't remember
damage/delay but the effect is "casts chaotic feedback". This is NOT the staff
of the Priest of Discord. He carries the Staff of Discord.
