Wand of viscid globs

A wand of viscid globs was a magical wand that shot adhesive globs. There was also a rod of viscid globs that had similar properties.

Description
A wand of viscid globs was a metal baton with no decoration.

The rod was between 2 and 3 ft (60 and 90 cm) long and weighed about 5 lb (roughly 2 kg).

Powers
Wands of viscid globs had two versions, one before the Spellplague and one after the Second Sundering. The former had eighty-one to one hundred charges on creation that were drained one by one on every use and could be recharged by a powerful wizard in a secret lengthy process requiring the spells mending, web, item, extension I, and enchanted weapon. The latter had seven charges that automatically renewed two to seven every midnight, on being drained completely, there was a one in twenty chance that it dissolved into harmless slime. The rod of viscid globs had five daily renewed charges.

As mentioned above, a wand of viscid globs and a rod of viscid globs shot adhesives, the wands with a range of 60 ft (18 m), the rod with a range of 100 ft (30 m). The older wand-version worked on command word and shot greenish-gray adhesive that covered 5 ft (1.5 m) diameter area and&madash;did not cause those caught within it to suffocate&madsh;glued everything within the area with each other permanently. The adhesive nature was so strong that a creature would break their joints before the bonds, causing stupid creatures to possibly destroy themselves in their attempt to free themselves. The hardening time for the adhesive was about ten minutes.

The newer wand version shot only a small glob that restrained one creature. The rod version's globs worked like a tanglefoot bag.

This adhesives of any version could be quickly dissolved by alcohol, a flask of wine was enough.

History
The wand of viscid globs was a magic item that was associated with the drow. When it came down to the post-Second Sundering version of the wand, it was a drowcraft item that got destroyed if exposed to sunlight in an hour.

Reputation
In the drow outpost of Velkynvelve, owning a wand of viscid globs was the sign of the consort of the head priestess and was passed around if the position changed.
