Rod suggstion:
Necromancer's Caduceus:
Often carried by necromancy M'elzar and Faern of Sorciere, this rod is crowned with a pair of bat wings, and has twined serpents running down its length. Its spells are handy for providing fresh research material and controlling rowdy classes of students, as well as gaining control of dangerous necromany experiments. It also functions excellently for strike students across the face to get their attention.
Spells:
Cloudkill
Control Undead
