'SERPENTINE STAFF' (1611)
Syntax: commune 'serpentine staff'
By imbuing a staff derived from a plant with the essence of a serpent, a druid
can breathe life into it, creating a loyal companion to assist in their
travels. The staff must retain its natural purity, and cannot be one corrupted
by magical influences, lest the serpent spirit reject it. Both the
craftsmanship of the staff and the power of the druid who calls the spirit
will affect the potency of the supplication. If the staff is destroyed while
animated, the druid will not be able to salvage it. To return the spirit to
freedom, the druid who invoked it may simply state 'Return to the wilds!', and
the serpent will heed their call.
