Rod of Elemental Might

This long, slender rod is inscribed with ancient symbols of power.

A rod of elemental might functions only for wu jen (or another character with the elemental mastery class feature), for which it grants mastery of an additional element. The substance of which they are made depends on the element over which they grant mastery: heavy crystal for air, marble for earth, obsidian for fire, coral for water, and mahogany for wood.

While holding the rod in at least one hand, you gain the benefits of elemental mastery (+2 effective caster level when casting spells of that element, and a +2 competence bonus on saves against spells of that element) applied to whichever element the rod represents. This benefit is in addition to whichever elemental mastery you already possess. If you are already a master of the rod's element, the item grants you no further benefits.

Prerequisites: Craft Rod, creator must be a wu jen with mastery of the relevant element.

Cost to Create: 4,800 gp, 384 XP, 10 days.
