Encyclopedia entry
Rods were sceptre-like objects that could be used by
spellcasters to focus their spells, and were particularly favored
by wizards. Some magical rods had unique magical powers, often
found in the possesion of powerful planar beings. Rods could
also be employed in battle, and were effective bludgeoning
instruments.
