Dragonstaff of Ahghairon

The Dragonstaff of Ahghairon was a powerful magic staff.

Powers
Any dragon touched by the dragonstaff became immune to the effects of Ahghairon's dragonward for a duration of time specified by the mage who controlled the staff. If a dragon was touched a second time, he was once again affected by the dragonward.

Additionally, the staff conferred several powers to its wielder. It had all the capabilities of a staff of power and could be used to cast the command spell, which had additional compulsive power if used against any dragon or dragonkin.

History
The dragonstaff was created by Ahghairon as a means to control and regulate the dragonward cast in 1071 DR.
