Weapon

The First Time

Created by skulldragon33

This delicate wand, crafted from aged maple wood, serves as a conduit for arcane power. It functions as a +3 spell casting focus and grants the wielder the ability to cast any prepared spell once without expending a spell slot, though the wand becomes inert for that particular spell thereafter. The wielder may also push beyond normal limits by channeling spells not yet prepared, though doing so exacts a terrible price in the form of exhaustion levels equal to the spell's level plus one. Each spell cast through the wand benefits from the +3 enhancement, bolstering the caster's spell attack rolls and spell save DCs. A cursed variant of this wand exists, one that corrupts the very nature of magic channeled through it, twisting spells toward devastating and morally abhorrent ends. Those who possess the cursed version often find themselves unable to relinquish it, as the wand subtly influences their choices in combat. Legends speak of wizards who sought to use this wand for noble purposes, only to become instruments of terrible destruction.
