    This pitted iron rod ends in a fluted head packed with dust that never quite falls free. It carries the smell of rain-soaked mortar into every room, and when pressed to broken stone a low grinding vibration travels up the bearer's arm before the ruin remembers its former shape.

    Effect

    Only wizards and clerics may command it. The bearer spends a charge on their own turn, setting the fluted end against a ruin: one ruined structure of up to 60 feet - a stair, bridge, floor, gate, or span - stands again as it did when it was whole and holds that way for one hour, whether or not anyone is standing on it.
