Rod of Regurgitation
The Rod of Regurgitation is a magical rod invented by the great magician Ostraphan. As part of his act Ostraphan would swallow various items and regurgitate them with the help of the rod unbeknownst to the crowd. Specifcally Ostraphan could swallow marked coins, numbered balls, or other similarly identifiable items and then regurgitate them upon command or random order.
After Ostraphan's death, the rod has been owned by many other magicians and peoples who could not master the use of the rod as Ostraphan himself did. in fact, results by others using the rod could be unpredictable, disastrous, and occasionally fatal. Examples of this have ranged from reguritation of the wrong item to the appearance of paritally digested food, resulting in audiences becoming disgusted.
Ownership of the rod has now fallen to the maigicans guild, who keep under lock and key to prevent offending audiences, embarrasing practioners, adn the genral safety of the user. Scholars don't even study the rod and consider it a cursed, that at the time of Ostraphan's death, he himself placed a curse upon it so that no one could reach or surpass the degree of success that Ostrapha achieved.
