This steel rod looks like a length of thick chain, but its links are fixed in place, preventing it from bending even slightly.

Though they were created for arcane spellcasters who engaged in frequent magical duels, these rods are also a boon to anyone who battles spellcasters. When you wield a rod of reversal, you can command it to automatically reflect the next three levels of spells that target you, as if you were under a lesser version of a spell turning spell, provided that you are neutral, neutral good, neutral evil, chaotic neutral, or lawful neutral. This ability functions three times per day.
Turning a spell changes the rod’s color, depending on the school of the spell turned, as given on the following table.

School	Color
Abjuration	Blue
Conjuration	Yellow
Divination	Indigo
Enchantment	Green
Evocation	Red
Illusion	Violet
Necromancy	Black
Transmutation	Orange

Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, a rod of reversal instead reflects the next nine levels of spells cast at you when it is activated. It also continuously grants you the Improved Counterspell feat.
To use the relic power, you must worship Boccob and either sacrifice an 8th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 15 HD.

Lore: These rods were originally created by an elite group of wizards with a penchant for magical dueling. In the centuries since, they have come into the possession of mage hunters as well as magical duelists (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).
