Cane of Byrna

The Cane of Byrna is a unique staff. 
It can be altered into a two-handed warhammer at an Alteration Table, where it will share the same damage as a one-handed Steel Mace, while weighing as less than an Iron Sword.
As a staff, it will launch a blue ball of magic that will explode upon impact, dealing 500 points of Magicka damage to the foe.
As a warhammer, it will deal 500 points of Magicka damage upon hitting the foe.
It is regarded as an Iron weapon, but it cannot be tempered.
== Location ==
The Cane of Byrna can be found in Mad God Passage, which is accessed through the Falkreath Secret Grotto.
It is located toward the end, where it is behind a Block of Time in a large room that acts as a maze the player must traverse through by moving a Block of Time with the Song of Time if there is one blocking the path.
The cane will be atop the stairs in a small alcove where it emits a faint blue glow. The glow disappears once the cane is taken.
== Lore ==
The origins of the Cane of Byrna are unknown. It may have been carried by a Hero during the Battle of a Thousand Heroes and later discovered by the Nords of Morwitijaal and Mad God Passage. 
The Cane was likely used in battle by said Nords, but ultimately hidden away.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The Cane of Byrna was added in version 6.5.15 with Mad God Passage and the other canes. The three canes use a shepherd's crook model from the Rustic Weapons Pack by MihailMods.
The Cane of Byrna's appearance is based on its design from Soul Calibur II.
The Cane differs from its incarnation in A Link to the Past. Rather than producing a force field, JKalenad decided to modify the function to be essentially inverted. Instead of the player's magic being drained, enemy magic is drained, giving the player an advantage and reducing the damage output of magic-using enemies.
