Rod of Onnwal (Magic Rod)

This magical rod was originally created to help protect the inhabitants of Onnwal against the fierce storms that regularly lash the Sea of Gearnat. It is also known to have been used effectively against dust storms in the Bright Desert, blizzards in the northern countries and on the windy peaks of various mountain ranges.
Upon command, the rod causes air in a 50-foot radius to become calm, wind velocity 0. It can negate damage to structures as long as the side the wind is blowing against can be included in the rod's radius of effect. However, the rod does not influence rain, snow, or any solid objects carried upon the wind and hurled into its area of effect. The rod cannot protect a flight of missiles that is fired or hurled outside its area of effect.
The rod prevents damage from creatures employing high winds as a special form of attack. For example, an air elemental could attack normally, but couldn't attack in whirlwind form. Each use of the rod drains one charge. Each charge lasts one hour, and the rod can be recharged.
