Crondor's Mysterious Sparkling

What’s it called? Crondor’s Mysterious Sparkling (in short, CMS)

What does it do? It's a toy spell that adds some (not many) spammy, 'wizardly' effects to your staff. Among those effects, the following lines are added to your staff description:

> Sparks of octarine light run across its surface

> It emits a slight octarine glow.

And like the zodiac charm, some lines will appear from time to time, like the following ones: "Lightning crackles over the tip of your xxx" "Raindrop grey / Ultramarine / Chocolate / Black smoke pours from the tip of your xxx" "The air around your xxx shimmers for a moment" "Your xxx momentarily shines in all the colours of a rainbow" "Your xxx emits a bright flash of light" "Your xxx sprouts a small clump of dandelions, which grow, flower, turn to a soft grey dandelion clock, and blow away" "A series of honey yellow sparks runs across your xxx" "Icicles grow from the tip of your xxx before melting and dripping away".

Where is it? Like its namesake, this Crondor spell can be found in the Intermediate Artifact Magic, fourth ed. volume, at the Unseen University Library.

What does it require? First, the focus of an octogram. Then, a staff (which is the intended object of beautification and spammyness) and an Ankhstone (consumed in the process).

What skills do I need? Staff, Whittling, Binding, Enchanting

Has it worked? A correct output of the spell should read as something like this:

You prepare to cast Crondor’s Mysterious Sparkling on the xxx staff.
You hold the xxx staff aloft above the centre of the octogram.
You form a small knife of pure magic and carve a setting from the ankhstone into your xxx staff’s interior.
You force the very essence of the ankhstone to merge with the xxx staff.
You empower the xxx staff to be able to contain the brilliance of the gem.
Octarine flames wash over the xxx staff.
