Rod of Ardent Light
Rod of Ardent Light
- Cost: 4,500 gp
- Weight: 4 lbs.
A rod of ardent light is a flat black rod of some cold metal. The black is quite pronounced, and much deeper than could be explained by normal smithing techniques. The ends are capped with white caps, again of an unusually vibrant white, that are just barely larger in diameter than the rod itself.
Wielders of this rod can utter a command word as a standard action to cast an Burst of Radiance spell, using up one charge from the rod.
If a targeted creature has spell resistance, the wielder of the rod must first make a Bailiwick skill check against the target's Maneuver Defense. If they equal or exceed this number, the spell is resolved against the target as normal. If the check fails, the spell is cast from the rod (using up a charge) but has no effect on the target creature.
You can purchase this rod at a higher creator level than the minimum required to cast the spell. Doing so increases the potency of the spell as described above, but also increases the cost, as follows:
