Stardust rod (300 om): Shantotto’s personal mage staff, this two foot long weapon is nearly the same size as the mage who wields it. This weapon serves as a conduit to channel her spells.
It is best described as a polished wooden staff with gold embellishment holding a large opal like crystal focus on the tip held in place by more gold.
Summoning the stardust rod takes only the blink of an eye, shantotto can keep the weapon on her back at all times to reduce the need to summon it. The rod itself is a fragile tool and can break if struck hard.
The stardust rod is capable of being used to create pulses of dark magic to divert incoming attacks, The burst acts as a reactive force to the incoming strike countering it with a similar counter directional force to divert it away. Doing so requires enough time for Shantotto to react and a 1/4th second to focus. As well as a small amount of her stamina however constantly using this to redirect incoming blows can quickly tire her out.
Blows that manage to strike the Stardust rod will often shatter its focus (the crystal orb on the tip, and heavy strikes risk breaking the rod entirely. Forcing her to resummon it should it be broken.)
