Pressing the button on this rod causes it to be held in place by magic, regardless of where it is. Pressing the button and letting go of the rod will leave it simply hovering in the air, stuck in place indefinitely until the button is pressed again, releasing the magic. An immovable rod can resist an infinite amount of force, never moving while the magic is active.

Description

This rod appears to be made of well worked iron with a number of ornate carvings along its length. These carvings also serve as handle grips for anyone that tries to hold on to it tightly. A single silver button has been placed at one end of the rod.

Lore

Immovable Rods are handy utility devices sought after by many adventurers, although exactly who created them is greatly debated. Many claim that it was a powerful sorcerer or an adventuring cleric, as is the usual expectation with such devices, but in truth it was a gnome rogue of little renown. Perhaps the fact that none know he was responsible is a credit to his skills, as the Rod aided him in a great many heists, and he retired centuries ago as one of the few thieves in history who could claim they had never been caught, not that he would tell anyone.
