Runestick Wand (Magic Wand)

The runestick is a kind of magical wand that can be created by a druid of at least 7th level, but a Dexterity of at least 14 is required. The runestick is a short piece of oak (about 12 inches long), carved with a detailed pattern of runes and then wrapped in mistletoe or holly. It can be used to store up to five spell-levels of druidic spells. The stick takes 1d4 hours to create for each spell level cast into it (roll separately for each spell). Upon completing the runestick, the druid must cast upon it the spells he or she wishes to store. The runestick crumbles to dust one month after its creation; it cannot be recharged. The spells stored in the runestick are cast at the level of the druid who enchanted the runestick. It can be used by any druid who knows the command word. It can also be used by any maiden or pure heart (use the unicorn test to decide this) who knows the command word. However, when used by a nondruid, the effects of the spells (radius, range, damage, and so on) are halved and the victim receives a +4 modifier to saving throws.
