Description

I just can't get my invention to work! Gah!

That's it, I've decided. I'm going to cheat and use magic.

What my invention really needs is a solid piston that's thin enough to fit through a narrow copper tube, but strong enough to withstand repeated impact without breaking. The magical rods carried by those ogre magi to the north should work perfectly.

From what I can tell, only the instructors carry the strong staves.
