The rod of destruction is a rod which contains the Random Bolt spell. This functions like most other bolt spells, piercing through enemies until it runs out of range, but deals one of the following random elemental damage types:
- Fire
- Cold
- Poison
- Negative energy
- Quicksilver (irresistible, strips away magical effects)
- Corrosive Bolt
- Electricity
Like all rods, its effectiveness rises with your Evocations skill. Due to the chance of it firing negative energy bolts, the good gods (The Shining One, Zin, and Elyvilon) all oppose its use, and due to the chance of it firing fire bolts, Dithmenos also disapproves.
