Sandria's Folly

After a battle with bandits on the road South of Seldern Cross in Leaving Home, the party discovered a locked chest amongst the highwaymen's camp which contained, amongst other things, the wand known as Sandria's Folly. After some time Odeon was able to identify the gloves magical attributes and now he carries the item, packed carefully in a blanket, in the hopes of returning it to the High Mentor Sandria.

History and Discovery
Though the stories are sketchy at best, it is believed that this small wand is the legendary item known as Sandria's Folly. The stories and common folklore claim that the wand was created by one of the High Mentors of the Terranth-Nar Universities, Sandria. The creator, a young Caraltian, is quite well known in the world of magic and technology for her works in the Universities and her quick ascent to the standing of High Mentor.

There is no recorded history of what the wand was used for, nor how it was lost/stolen. The likeliness that the bandits the party fought had somehow stolen the item directly from the Universities is very low - instead, it's assumed the artifact has bounced around the world with its owners unaware of what they were carrying.

The wand were discovered, along with the Dagger of Biting and the Gloves of Mischief, hidden in a locked and trapped chest that the highwaymen in Leaving Home had in their camp. Ophelia was able to disarm the trap and open the lock and Odeon then took the item to keep it safe.

Description
The wand is quite average looking, roughly 9 inchese long and made out of some kind of sturdy, light coloured wood. One end boasts an elegant, yet simplistic handle carved into the item, with finger indents lining its edges. The opposite end of the wand is pointed, though not dangerously so, and three red rings run their way around the centre of it.

The wand is quite heavy, at least compared to a normal stick or twig, and its likely the core is some kind of jewel or metal.

Abilities
The wands true use is unknown as the item is cursed to avoid others discovering its powers. For those who are not the maker, Sandria, the wand is simply a stick that has the potential to deal great magical harm to anyone who holds it. It is for this reason that Odeon now keeps it wrapped up and hidden away from prying hands.
