Rod of transmutation

Description

A two foot long granite rod that turns a normal cave tile into the ore of your choice. The tile will have max ql limit of 99 and 10 000 mining operations. The rod is destroyed in the process.

Rod of transmutation turns a normal cave tile into the vein of your choice. Although the vein will have the same prospect QL as the rock tile it replaces, you will be able to mine ore up to 99 QL from it, and will allow for about 10,000 mining operations. The rod is destroyed when used.

'Notes'

• The rod can be bought from a trader for 50 silver coins. It weighs 1.00 kg, and is a no drop item.
• The following veins or walls can be created: Iron, Gold, Silver, Copper, Tin, Zinc, Lead, Slate or Marble.
• Cannot create Rock, Adamantine, or Glimmersteel.
• If used on an ore vein or a support beamed tile it gives this message: "This rod only works on normal cave walls."

Note: Rods do create 99QL veins on the Epic home servers. Rolf has confirmed that this is "expected".
