Staff of Unmaking

This item was formerly the Wand of Orcus. Made from bones as hard as iron, the wand is topped with a skull that once belonged to an empyrean slain by Orcus. The wand has been cleansed by the energies of the Seven Heavens and infused with radiant magic.
Instant Attunement. A creature holding the wand can use their action to instantly attune to it.
Protection (Good Aligned Creatures Only). You gain a +3 bonus to Armor Class while holding the wand.
Destroy Undead (Good Aligned Creatures Only). While you are holding the wand, you can use an action to release a burst of radiant energy instantly destroying undead creatures of CR 4 or lower in a 120 ft. radius around the staff.
Once you use this property, you can't use it again until 24 hours have passed.
Word of Unmaking. This staff has been infused with a word of unmaking specifically designated to Orcus by Leo Vasilius. While Orcus is attuned to this Staff, the use of a Wish spell intending to "Unmake Orcus's bond with Amon" will cause Orcus to take 60d6 radiant damage and lose any traits, features, spells and abilities obtained from Amon's stat block.
Infused Celestial Shard Tip. A creature can use a bonus action to affix the Celestial Shard Tip to the Staff of Unmaking, turning it into a +3 magical spear.
A creature holding the Staff can make an Athletics Check to attempt to Impale a target creature with the spear, the DC of the Athletic Check is equal to twice the target Armor Class. This DC decreases by 5 for each 100 hit points the target creature is missing. On a success, the Staff is successfully implanted into the target, allowing the Word of Unmaking to be used.
