|desc=This rod has a flanged head, and it functions as a magic {{srd5lc|Mace}} that grants a +3 bonus to {{srd5lc|Attack Roll|attack}} and {{srd5lc|Damage Roll}}s made with it. The rod has properties associated with six different buttons that are set in a row along the haft. It has three other properties as well, detailed below. Six Buttons. You can press one of the rod’s six buttons as a {{srd5lc|Bonus Action}}. A button’s effect lasts until you push a different button or until you push the same button again, which causes the rod to revert to its normal form. <br />
<br />
If you press '''button 1''', the rod becomes a {{srd5lc|Flame Tongue}}, as a fiery blade sprouts from the end opposite the rod’s flanged head. <br />
<br />
If you press '''button 2''', the rod’s flanged head folds down and two crescent-shaped blades spring out, transforming the rod into a magic {{srd5lc|Battleaxe}} that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. <br />
<br />
If you press '''button 3''', the rod’s flanged head folds down, a spear point springs from the rod’s tip, and the rod’s handle lengthens into a 6-foot haft, transforming the rod into a magic {{srd5lc|Spear}} that grants a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. <br />
<br />
If you press '''button 4''', the rod transforms into a climbing pole up to 50 feet long, as you specify. In surfaces as hard as granite, a spike at the bottom and three hooks at the top anchor the pole. Horizontal bars 3 inches long fold out from the sides, 1 foot apart, forming a ladder. The pole can bear up to 4,000 pounds. More weight or lack of solid anchoring causes the rod to revert to its normal form. <br />
<br />
If you press '''button 5''', the rod transforms into a handheld battering ram and grants its user a +10 bonus to {{SRD5|Strength}} checks made to break through doors, barricades, and other barriers. <br />
<br />
If you press '''button 6''', the rod assumes or remains in its normal form and indicates magnetic north. (Nothing happens if this function of the rod is used in a location that has no magnetic north.) The rod also gives you knowledge of your approximate depth beneath the ground or your height above it. <br />
<br />
'''Drain Life.''' When you hit a creature with a {{srd5lc|Melee Attack}} using the rod, you can force the target to make a {{SRD5|DC}} 17 {{SRD5|Constitution}} {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}. On a failure, the target takes an extra 4d6 {{srd5lc|Necrotic}} damage, and you regain a number of {{srd5lc|Hit Point}}s equal to half that necrotic damage. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn. <br />
<br />
'''Paralyze.''' When you hit a creature with a melee attack using the rod, you can force the target to make a DC 17 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is {{srd5lc|paralyzed}} for 1 {{srd5lc|Minute}}. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its {{srd5lc|Turn}}s, ending the effect on a success. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn. <br />
<br />
'''Terrify.''' While holding the rod, you can use an action to force each creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a DC 17 {{SRD5|Wisdom}} saving throw. On a failure, a target is {{srd5lc|Frightened}} of you for 1 minute. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn.<br />
