'SERPENTINE STAFF' (1611)

Syntax: commune 'serpentine staff' 

By imbuing a staff derived from a plant with the essence of a serpent, a druid 
can breathe life into it, creating a loyal companion to assist in their 
travels. The staff must retain its natural purity, and cannot be one corrupted 
by magical influences, lest the serpent spirit reject it. Both the 
craftsmanship of the staff and the power of the druid who calls the spirit 
will affect the potency of the supplication. If the staff is destroyed while 
animated, the druid will not be able to salvage it. To return the spirit to 
freedom, the druid who invoked it may simply state 'Return to the wilds!', and 
the serpent will heed their call.
