Technically the symbol of Hermes, the god of trade and commerce, the Caduceus has nonetheless been appropriated as a symbol of healing.

Moderate Caduceus Rod

CL 3 Magic Rod • Weak Conjuration
Cost: 2,813 gp
Weight: 4 lbs.

This rod is shaped like a caduceus — a pair of white snakes crossing back and forth among themselves, around a scepter. The two snakes face each other just under the head of the scepter, which is shaped like a pair of small white wings. The whole rod is somewhat heavy, but it is easy to grip.

Wielders of this rod can utter a command word as a standard action to cast a Cure Moderate Wounds spell, using up one charge from the rod.

The rod issues a burst of positive energy that cures 4d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +20) on a target within your reach. Against an unwilling target, you must make a melee touch attack as part of the same standard action as uttering the command word.

Since undead are powered by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds. An undead creature can apply spell resistance, but receives no save against the damage, if you hit with your melee touch attack.

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:
