Once per week the rod can be used to create a command tent. The tent is 30 feet across, and the inside is protected from harsh weather conditions such as extreme heat, cold, wind, or rain. The tent is furnished suitably for a military command post and contains a map table upon which is a detailed map showing the terrain within a ten-mile radius of the tent. The tent lasts for up to 24 hours, at the end of which time it disappears along with anything (but not anyone) that was inside it.
