| This rod allows its wielder to fire powerful blasts of metallic shrapnel. It uses its own magic reservoir for casting spells, and recharges automatically according to the recharging rate.

The wielder of an iron rod may evoke it to cast the Scattershot spell, launching several randomly aimed bits of shrapnel within a medium-ranged cone. The individual shots don't do very heavy damage on their own, but firing it in melee range often focuses multiple shots on one target, dealing heavy damage. It can only be fired a few times before needing to recharge, comes with a hefty hunger cost, and generates exceptional amounts of noise, but it excels at putting out a lot of damage to a low-AC target within a very short period of time.
