This fragile-looking glass rod is filled with elemental energy—fl ickering flames, crackling electricity, churning green acid, or frosty rime, depending upon its type.

Four different versions of this rod exist, each keyed to a different type of energy (acid, cold, electricity, or fire). Three times per day, you can cast a spell, of 9th level or lower, as though using the appropriate Energy Substitution feat.

Prerequisites: Craft Rod, Energy Substitution (CAr 79) for the appropriate energy type.
Cost to Create: 12,000 gp (plus 300 gp for base item), 960 XP, 24 days.
