Was the staff hung up by the ring inside that box? If so, does that mean holding it by the ring cancels out the weight of the staff, as it was shown that even just gently placing it down and letting it go folded a metal table like it was a single sheet of paper so that box is either incredible sturdy or requires a way to cancel the weight.

Convenient change of topic Phil! XD

Food for preventing thought.

In panel 1, an “a” seems to have gone missing. Perhaps “As you know it’s a magical loadstone”?

Panel one: It’s spelled “lodestone”, not “loadstone”.
