When the three staves described above are combined as one, the Rod of Pacts is formed. It has all of the powers of the three Staves that it is comprised of, as well as the ability to cast the spell, Bind Demon Lord, once per week. In addition, the Rod acts as an astrolabe of imprisonment in the hands of a sha'ir, but then the genie wizard may not use the Bind Demon Lord power. The rod has no intelligence, and has no power over it wielder. It is believed that it was created by the gods as a test for mortal beings who might try to wield its power. Bind Demon Lord This power forces a Demon Lord to make a save vs. spells (-4 due to the rod's power) or be bound to the rod wielder's will. The demon must do one deed for the caster and then return to its home plane without harming the caster. This can be very dangerous to the caster if the demon twists his command's intent or if it later has a chance for revenge. Astrolabe of Imprisonment This item forces a genie or similar elemental spirit to make a save vs. spells (-4 due to the rod's power) or be drawn into and imprisoned within the rod. The wielder of the rod will then be able to negotiate the terms of the beings release. The risks inherent in binding a demon also apply to this power. If the rod is separated into its parts while a spirit is contained, the being is ejected into it home plane. Only one spirit may be so contained at a time.
