What It Is
A staff of named yew, the fuller inlaid with a rune that is not a rune — it is a page, the notebook made into the wood. The staff holds the shape of the argument, and the argument is the one Wreckreate is still making.
The Making
Made by the erudite runecasters, the only line that writes spells into objects — and the rune on this staff is the one that takes the tension back: the mana-burn, the art, the taking. The staff is the answer to the question the new world asks, held in a hand that does not flinch.
Tier: masterwork · Damage/Role: — (arcane focus) · Held by: Wreckreate
On the ladder in The Maker's Hand, this is a masterwork — a story event, and the story remembers it.
In Stories
The staff is the one the camp argues about every night by the fire: the burn is not a spell, the burn is an art, and the art is the one the story is about. When Wreckreate raises the staff, the meter across from it goes to zero, and the zero is the one who is still standing.
