Staff, Flicker:
The Flicker Staff harbors an unknown number of subtlely master-crafted runes upon its entire surface. These runes appear to be a flick of dust, a scratch here and there, so finely crafted are the runes.
Each rune harbors a certain power, infinite in the resulting posbilities caused by the witnessesing a rune's awakening. Each rune resembles an eye when it opens and closes (this eye will open and close in in the blink of a eye.
At times a single rune will spark with energy, emitting a faint lumin glow. Sometimes, a rune upon the staff does not glimmer for a long while, and seem to lay dormant forever. No one knows why, and everyone delights in guessing.
If one focuses on the sfaff for 8 hours, especially when it's dark, There will be a 1 in 100 chance (roll 2 0s using 3-D10) that something will happen. In the dark it is easier to witness the awakening of a rune (check twice).
