This rod of orichalcum-reinforced tin naturally absorbs magical energy from within nature. The colourful arcane crystals which adorn the rod's head are the accumulation of this absorption process over the course of many decades, resulting in a catalyst of great power. Those spellweavers with innate magic power will find that the swirling mana currents within this catalyst resonate with their own, greatly empowering spells cast through it but at a tremendous cost of energy and mental focus.
Casting a spell with a tin crystallization catalyst as the focus requires a full-round action and expends two spell slots of the spell's level or higher. Any spell so cast is enhanced in the following ways:
- All variable damage sources are multiplied by 1½, as per empower spell.
- The spell is heightened by 2 levels.
- Any spell with a duration is extended.
- Any spell with an area of effect has its area increased by 50%.
Due to the strain of casting through such an overbearing catalyst, the wielder becomes staggered for one round after.
Apart from its prowess as a catalyst for spells, a tin crystallization catalyst functions as a +3 morningstar with the spelltouch and Charisma-striking qualities.
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, Empower Spell, Heighten Spell, Extend Spell, Widen Spell, must have levels in a spontaneous spellcasting class.
Cost to Create: 50,000 gp, 4,000 EXP, 100 days.
