Each end of this slender ebony rod is set with a clear, jagged crystal. A wild energy seems to flicker in the depths of these stones, and gazing intently into one reveals minute flares of fire, tiny sparks of electricity, and other glimpses of suppressed energy.

Conduit rods alter the fundamental ways in which magical energies interact. When you activate a conduit rod and specify an energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic), your existing resistance to energy of the chosen type increases by 20. This protection also extends to every creature adjacent to you (though the value is based on the value of the energy resistance of those creatures rather than your own) and lasts for 1 round. The rod has no effect on creatures that are immune to the chosen energy type or have no resistance to it at all.
This ability functions three times per day.
