Effect It’s said that Sun Wukong tucked this magical staff behind his ear during his travels. When not in use, the Staff of Sun Wukong shrinks to the size and weight of a needle or toothpick, making it highly concealable (+4 circumstance bonus to
Stealth checks to hide it from sight). In this form, the item has negligible Bulk. You can
Activate this ability again to return the staff to its normal size.
Activate—Cloud Somersault [one-action] (
manipulate);
Effect You use the shapeshifting capabilities of this relic to propel yourself great distances. You
Leap up to 50 feet in any direction.
Destruction Despite being made of iron and gold, mundane heat sources can’t damage the Staff of Sun Wukong. Magical fire similarly has no effect on this relic. The only way to destroy this item is to expose it to the intense heat of a specific volcano in the depths of the Songil Sea (though which volcano remains shrouded in myth).
