Rod of the Greatsmith

CL 1 Magic Rod • Weak Transmutation
Cost: 750 gp
Weight: 4 lbs.

This rod is made in the form of a fanciful hammer, elongated and delicate, with a cross-peen head and golden runes chased into the haft and belly of the striking end. When activated, it rings like a well-struck blow upon a fine anvil.

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

When the wielder pronounces the command word and taps a target within their melee reach, the target's form emits a ring like a struck anvil and the power of a weapon they possess or a suit of armor they wear is enhanced until the wielder of the rod finishes a full nights rest. The power of the rod acts to reinforce the weapon or armor suit chosen. This power temporarily upgrades or mitigates the Fragile (Quality). A suit of armor or weapon touched that has the Fragile (Quality) is not considered to have the Fragile (Quality) for the spell's duration. Normal armor suits or weapons subjected to this spell instead gain 1 additional point of durability versus Sunder maneuvers.

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:
