Spider wand

A spider wand was a magical wand that could be used to create webs or as a poisonous weapon.

Description
Spider wands were made of smooth, plain wood and were one foot (0,3 meters) long.

Powers
A spider wand had five to fifty charges on creation. Every use of one of the two powers of the wand caused it to be drained of one charge. If it was drained completely, the wand turned into a long-dead husk of a spider and then to dust. A powerful cleric could recharge the spider wand.

The first power of the spider wand was to shoot sticky, silvery strands. This weblike material worked like strands of rope of entanglement that disappeared after three minutes.

The second power of the spider wand was to deliver lethal poison via striking a person with the wand in melee. One or two minutes were enough to kill a person with this poison.

Anybody could use a spider wand.

History
Spider wands were associated with the drow.

Notable Owners
In Menzoberranzan, spider wands were standard equipment for male drow fighter-wizards who were part of the regular patrol of the Bazaar.
