A nightmare rod appears as a simple wooded rod with a purple octopus grasping the end, with its tentacles wrapping along a good portion of the rod. The rod can be used as a mace. When used as such, its most effective strikes stagger the victim due to its mind being filled with nightmare-like visions.

It's other powers include affecting a struck creature with the phantasmal killer spell once a day, casting the nightmare spell once a day, and making its bearer immune to fear.
