| Enchanter | Khêru, Nithian arch-mage |
| Location | Geledh |
Khêru, a legate of the Šukhan Legion, enchanted this item in the arcane forge Geledh Arcanum. The rod was designated Hulêthûn in reverence to Khêru's son who perished during the establishment of Geledh Arcanum.
Hulêthûn is a twisted rod of High Alloy Blutium. Crowned with a broken sphere, its upper half lies shattered, the pieces suspended in the air as if frozen in time. At the rod's core rests an Orb of Arcane, likewise immobilized. This energy comes alive when the rod is grasped, producing a noticeable hum and coursing with power. The Orb of Arcane floats within the rod's fractured sphere, once a part of a Sphere of Arcane carved from COA 411.
Hulêthûn is a formidable and unstable weapon powered by the same energies that course through the Cubes of Arcane. Shortly after crafting the rod, Khêru commenced to lose spells from his memory and discovered some of his magical items drained of their power. The rod also began absorbing a portion of the arcane energy from the Web's strands that encase Geledh Arcanum. Khêru, alongside a number of other wizards, labored day and night for two months on a means to contain the rod's instability. They ultimately created a Time Stop Ward around the rod's Orb of Arcane, which halted the dangerous side effects of the rod.
A year's worth of magic has been consumed by his staff. I sincerely hope the endeavor proves worthwhile. Regrettably, a single disintegrate spell from the adversary could render it all for naught.
Zinamrân, Sulkun 6th Company, from a diary discovered in Geledh - "Ensuring Enduring Functionality"
The rod's attributes are remarkably akin to the properties of the Cube of Arcane - the ability to drain, absorb, and generate magical power. The latter of these capabilities culminates in the production of random arcane spells that can be invoked by any individual wielding the rod.
