The Fire Rod is a magical item which can be used to produce an offensive spell-like effect. A Fire Rod appears as a scepter, usually comparable in length to the wielder's arm, colored red, with a dimly-glowing orange gem at its tip.
To activate rod, the user merely swings it while focusing his magic energy through it. From the rod's tip will launch a small, compact orb of fire--size comparable to a Hylian's head--which shoots forward with velocity comparable to a fastball and force comparable to a strong punch. This ball of fire inflames the impacted surface, if the target is flammable, then immediately vanishes. When aimed horizontally, the projectile can reach up to 30 feet (or 10 meters).
Normally, the wielder can use the Fire Rod's magical effect once every 20 seconds. The rod will not function until its energy is recharged.
