This amusing spell calls into being a 4-foot long, faintly glowing rod of force, with a slim strand of energy hanging off the thin end. On the handle end is a crank-type apparatus, also constructed of this glowing energy. Typically, the line is cast into waters where one suspects interesting or valuable objects might be found. The caster then patiently waits for a "bite". Every turn spent fishing gives the caster a number of "bites" equal to one-third his level (or two, whichever is higher); roll 1d10 for each bite. If a "7" comes up, it is something along the vague lines of what the caster was seeking, based on what the DM decides is actually underwater. Note that the line does not have to be particularly near the object (thus the conjuration element), and that the line can lift objects as if it had an 18/00 Strength, regardless of the wizard's prowess. In especially treasure-thick water, there may be bonuses to the roll, left to the discretion of the DM. Objects sought for must actually exist and lie within a few thousand feet of the casting site. An alternate use of the Rod is for actual fishing, with chances as if the wizard possessed the fishing proficiency, with an additional 25% bonus if he actually does. No bait is needed for this use of the spell.
