Do all rods have to be the same rectangular cylindrical shape as i have read in the novels? I created (in progress as i still try to understand the game) a character is a cowboy sorcerer who has a rod carved in a revolver shape so that he can use it to draw as if to use it in a shootout. I used the slots (Lore is at Great) like this: +1 offensive control, +1 Spirit, +2 offensive power. Hopefully did this right.

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about a wizard character who could manipulate and be able to use darkness as his/her main focus and be able to go in and out of the Nevernever at will. Any ideas?
