Energy Rod

A slender, metallic rod approximately the length of a forearm, its surface etched with fine glowing circuits that pulse with unstable energy. When wielded by Stapley, the rod crackles with blue-white plasma arcs, capable of disrupting Kalid's psychotronic illusions and shattering his control mechanisms. Its energy reacts visibly to Kalid's powers, either nullifying their effects or amplifying when misused, as seen when Stapley's skeptical strike disperses the monstrous Plasmaton illusion into harmless confetti.
