Druid Staff (Magic Staff)

The druid staff is a shaft of oak with a head carved in the shape of a wild animal, usually a boar, wolf, deer, or eagle. The staff allows the user to perform several special functions.
It can be used to summon animals of the type carved onto the staff. At a cost of two charges, the user can send out a call. All animals of the appropriate type within 12 miles hasten to the druid as quickly as possible. Once they reach the druid, they act as if under an animal control spell.
The staff can also be used to cast animal control on any animal within sight of the staff, at a cost of one charge. The staff functions as a magical weapon, with a +2 bonus to attack, inflicting 1d6+2 points of damage on a successful hit.
The staff also functions as a python staff, with the characteristics of the staff of the serpent. This includes the destruction of the staff if the snake is killed. Using the staff as a snake costs one charge.
At a cost of two charges, the staff can be used to cast one of the following druidic spells: call lightning, dispel magic, cure serious wounds, plant growth, cure disease, and speak with plants. 
Once a month, with no cost in charges, the staff can perform one of the following greater abilities: wall of fire, transmute rock to mud, conjure fire elemental, insect plague, wall of thorns, and conjure earth elemental.
After using its greater power once, the staff only regains this ability if it is recharged in a Moonwell beneath a full moon.
