Staff of the Bronze Serpent

Staff, rare (requires attunement by a cleric or druid)

This ornate staff is topped with the bronze figure of a snake bearing its fangs to strike. The body of the snake coils down the shaft of the staff, with its tail ending just above the grip. The bronze figure of the serpent is ancient, having been constructed by Moses himself in the wilderness of Zin. However, the pole it is affixed to is newer construction, as the original pole was shattered by King Hoshea shortly before Israel was conquered by Babylon.

The bronze serpent was later affixed to the top of a staff, and its current whereabouts are unknown. According to legend, the bronze serpent symbolized the Israelite's faith in God, and was able to cure the afflictions of the Israelite people.
