Arcanum Aegis
staff, very rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
The staff, carved from the heartwood of an ancient oak that grew upon the pulsing veins of a magical leyline, is a masterpiece of arcane craftsmanship. It stands as tall as a grown man, with a girth that suggests the strength of the tree from which it was hewn. Runes and sigils are etched along its length, and a vine is spiraling up to the crown where a crystal, clear as the purest spring water, is set. This crystal pulses with a soft glow, a heartbeat of magic that syncs with the leyline’s rhythm.
