Phynix's Rod of Hideous Doom
contributed by Carabbit

Phynix was in posession of a rare and extremely odd magical device known as a "rod of wonder." The rod, using an innately chaotic brand of magic, produced random effects upon either the user of the item or its intended target. Being an inherently chaotic bit of magic, the rod eventually warped its own nature, tapping into a more potent field of magic, and altering its own physical nature. In essence, it mutated.

The rod, seeing further use, quickly earned itself the title of "Phynix's Rod of Hideous Doom." When asked whether that is in reference to what it does to Phynix's enemies or Phynix's party, the wizard/rogue merely giggles.
