This will appear to be a beautiful but naturalistic quarter staff of full size. It will radiate magic. This is a +2 weapon, adding to both Hit and Damage to the staff's normal 1d6.
</p>
<p>
The first time this staff is used in actual combat, long cruel thorns will grow out of it, doing 1d3 +2 HP of damage to whomever is holding it, with no roll To Hit required. The wielder must drop the staff immediately, or take automatic damage again next round.
</p>
<p>
Should the wielder choose to endure the damage (or is somehow immune to it), any creature struck by the thorn staff will now take 1d10+2 HP of damage. The thorns will disappear when the staff is dropped.
</p>
<p>
<b>Optional:</b> The thorns may be poisonous, requiring the victim to roll a Save vs. Poison, or begin taking 1 HP of damage per minute until cured or dead.
