ROD OF SPELLTHROWING:
This is a 3 foot long rod with a scabbard-like loop for holding it on a belt. A Rod of Spellthrowing is a powerful magical rod.
The rod is used like a conductor's baton. It is activated by a particular sequence of shakes (which you remember from Darwen using it). (Activating it takes 1/2 round.)
Once activated, another series of particular waves sets off a spell type. Inscribed in rows around the rod are the waves to activate each spell, but to prevent accidentally falling into the wrong hands, which spell goes to which series of waves is not usually listed.
Each rod has 10 types of spell it can cast, with a certain number of spells stored for each type.
If hit while performing the maneuvers for a spell, the cleric must make a save versus spells to avoid failing to use the wand correctly (but the spell is not lost).
NOTE: Because this wand has no verbal component, a cleric who makes a Wisdom check can both use the wand and cast a normal spell in the same round.
