Rod of the Wyrm (Magic Rod)

Usable by any character, there are three types of these rods; determine the type randomly or select one.
Roll	Alignment	Dragon	AC	Breath
1-5 	Lawful 	Gold 	-2	Fire/Gas
6-8 	Neutral 	Blue 	0 	Lightning
9-10	Chaotic 	Black 	2 	Acid
Each is a rod +5 and each inflicts 1d8+5 (6-13) points of damage per hit (but without strength bonuses). Once per day, the rod may be turned into a small dragon of the appropriate type. The created dragon has 30 hit points and can only be affected by magical weapons, item, and spells. It can understand, and will faithfully serve, the user of the rod to the best of its ability; it can act as a messenger, steed, or guard. It fights to the death unless commanded otherwise. The dragon knows no spells. It returns to rod form on command; if slain in dragon form, however, it cannot return to rod form and is forever destroyed. Spells and other magical forms of healing can be used to heal the creature, if desired, but not after it is killed.
If a dragon is created by a user of a different alignment, the dragon attacks the user immediately, fighting to the death. When this occurs, it cannot be commanded to return to rod form.
