This potent weapon appears to be a rod about two feet long, plated with silver. In truth, the entire baton is made from silver and inscribed with mystic runes.The device only works at night (no real restriction for most Kindred) and there must be at least a sliver of a moon in the sky; under these conditions, by spending a point of Willpower, the baton becomes imbued with a silvery gleam up and down its length.
