Rod of Magical Precision

This slender rod, almost wandlike in appearance, has runes and arcane symbols traveling up its length in a spiral pattern, culminating in one great rune printed on the tip.

While you are holding a rod of magical precision, any ranged attack you make with a spell or spell-like ability at an opponent engaged in melee does not take the standard –⁠4 penalty on your attack roll. This requires no activation.

In addition, you can choose for your spell or spell-like ability to ignore the miss chance granted to a target by concealment or total concealment. In the case of a target that has total concealment, you must still aim at the correct square. This requires no specific action to activate, merely an act of will made as part of casting a spell. It functions up to three times per day.

When the rod is active, its runes pulse with energy, starting at the handle and working up to the top. The spell appears to emanate from the rod rather than from your own hand.
