Anitech Soul Rod

Anitech soul rods are hand held devices that utilize soul orbs to transmit parcels of soul power rapidly through a stator and into paired ethereal and material plane chambers. This causes a blast that can rip metal and stone apart and explode flesh.

When fired, soul rods deal 2d6 radiant damage and have a range of 60/120.  The require the soularms proficiency.  
The stators soul rods drain 1 soul die use. The wielder of any anitech weapon may soul charge the damage dealt with any blow. On a hit, they may drain the soul orb powering the weapon and add one soul die to the damage rolled.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

The soul rod has a curved end to better be able to hold and aim with it, and a chute along the side where a soul orb can be loaded inside. A small anitech lever recycles the anitech stator, realigns the wave chamber and reposits the orb to have the resident soul shaved apart in order to activate the chamber and fire it again.

Significance

Soul Rods were used as personal defense items by Imperial Elven courtiers and Wizards, as well as the preferred tool of Imperial Halfling assassins.
