I don’t get Melinoë staff

I’ve seen people mention now and then that Mel is considered one of the better aspects for Descura, but I just haven’t been able to make it work. I’ve found a lot of success with Zeus/Hestia on Anubis, with omega cast builds on Circe, really anything omega focused on Moros, but adding power to the specials which are slow and hard to use just doesn’t seem that impactful to me. What am I missing that makes this good?
