I pledged myself , and headed home , where I was met by another in service to the Word , but in a much different way . He granted me my staff , an instrument of the Word which would grant great magic ... but cost me a good leg . I also would end up , in my dreams , visiting a world ravaged by the Void .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
What does this person mean when they say the staff cost them a good leg ?


This is a figure of speech , what they mean is that it is was a costly purchase
