Mark of the Magi is a crafted legendary staff that can only be created in Reaper of Souls. This item requires a Behistun Rune, one of the legendary materials.
To create this item, find the Plan: Mark of the Magi, which can be dropped by any level 70 target, and teach the plan to the Blacksmith. Once learned by the smith, any character on your account can make as many of these as you can afford to create.

Mark of the Magi stats
This two-handed Staff has no legendary affix and only the standard legendary two-handed item damage. It's therefore little used, like almost all other two-handed weapons in Diablo 3 and Reaper of Souls.

Legendary Material
The required legendary material, Behistun Rune, can only be dropped by Unique (purple) Cultist Summoners and Unique Hellions (Demon Dogs). (Note that these are not the same thing as Cultist melee or Cultist mages, who drop the Cultist Blood legendary material.) These enemies are found late in Act One and throughout Act Two, making this a fairly common legendary material that hardly anyone uses since the two-handed staff is far from a top quality item.
- Fixed -- Urik the Seer, Act 1, Fields of Misery, Khazra Den. (Fixed spawn in Story Mode.)
- Cadhul the Deathcaller. Act 1, Southern Highlands.
- Bounty -- Jezeb the Conjuror, Act 1, Leoric's Manor.
- Bounty -- Krailen the Wicked, Act 1, Leoric's Manor.
- Bounty -- Yeth, Act 2, Road to Alcarnus.
- Bounty -- Shondar the Invoker, Act 2, Alcarnus.
- Pontius, Act 5, Westmarch Commons.
Legendary materials drop more often on higher difficulty levels. Their drop rate was tripled in Patch 2.0.4 shortly after Reaper of Souls' release, making them all much easier to find. The figures are the percent chance the legendary material (or Deaths Breath will be dropped by a valid source. All legendary materials except Adventurer's Journals and Griswold's Scribblings can only be dropped by Unique (purple) bosses of a certain type. See the legendary materials article for full details.
