Description
A heavy steel rod inlaid with six gem-tipped buttons, masquerading as a noble's scepter of office. It functions as a +3 magic mace, but at command, the rod transforms into a flame tongue, battle axe, climbing tool, ten-foot pole, or detection compass, each by depressing a different button. Additional powers include paralyzing strikes, draining blows, fear-aura presence, and orientation under any sky. As a symbol, the rod carries authority beyond its weapons; petty kings have surrendered claims at its sight. Its many functions make it a complete adventuring kit and a status object combined, ideal for monarchs who must travel as warriors.
