Staff of crones

A staff of crones was a magical staff that carried within it powers to inflict disease and illness upon others.
==Description==
The staff itself was a shaft of rotting wood, beneath the surface of which were scores of wriggling worms. It gave off an aura of sickness, leaving its wielder feeling unwell and nauseous.
==Powers==
At will, the wielder of a staff of crones could emit a beam of energy that poisoned their body, an effect that continued for a matter of seconds.
==Notable Owners==
* Auntie Ethel, a green hag that dwelled within her lair beneath the putrid bog of the Sword Coast.
