Rod of Building (Magic Rod)

This artifact was discovered aboard a ship belonging to Thanatos and Ranivorus. It is a testament to the chaotic nature of these Immortals that the rod of building is a benign device. Its function is to literally construct a pyramid, palace, statue, or other stone structure from the ground up.
To use the rod, the user must first have detailed interior and exterior plans of the object to be built. Next, the fully-drawn plans must be laid on the ground where the structure is to be built, and the outside dimensions of the structure foundation etched, using the rod, into the stone or soil. Once the etching is complete, the structure begins to build itself, block by block, at a rate of 10 square feet per round. Underground structures are dug, walls spring up, and outbuildings form under the magic of the rod of building. The process does not stop until the structure is complete.
Over the years, the rod of building has come into the possession of the Templars, who strictly regulate its use. Only a few structures are created in this fashion each year.
