Some quick questions on the staff ...

1) I cannot make any horrors on the turn that I use the staff
2) I am not expending any warp charges to use this
3) Does puppet Master work on the Staff
4) Can I use the staff against Aetaos if the test is failed

1) you seem to be able to spawn horrors
2) It's not a psychic power, just a shooting attack
3) If you manage to use Puppet Master on it, you should be able to use the staff, maybe the "must not move in the movement phase" limitation might come in play there though.
4) It looks like it's still the origin of the attack, meaning you can't target it.

Isn't Render of Veils a shooting attack? Can he use the Staff and another shooting attack?

Shooting attacks aren't prevented by the use of the staff, only the specific things listed

Since it doesn't specify WHICH movement phase he can't move in, we have to assume it's the PREVIOUS (most recent) movement, not his own. This would mean that, for purposes of Puppet Master, he'd count as stationary.

Although it's probably not a good idea to Puppet Master Aetaros'rau'keres. He's got a 4+ chance to DtW (being PML4), and then another 4+ chance that instead of Aetaros being Mastered, it gets reflected back. That's a 25% probability you'll hit your own model, instead of him. Not worth it.

Okay. Can the staff effect buildings and fortifications at all? the rules say ... Hits from this barrage cause haywire but you need to pen a fort no? So I'm guessing I need a sixes to do any damage?
