Wabbajack

Daedra Prince:  Sheogorath

Summoning Date:  2nd of Sun's Dawn (5% at any Daedric Summoning)

Description:  Madness and chaos are the trademarks of Sheogorath. The Wabbajack embodies these same traits. Using the artifact on a creature will transform it into something else. The creature can become any one of the following monsters: rat, imp, spriggan, giant bat, grizzly bear, spider, nymph, harpy, skeletal warrior, giant, zombie, giant scorpion, iron atronach, flesh atronach, ice atronach, fire atronach, lich. The problem is the bearer has no way of controlling the transformation. He could change a giant bat into a lich, or a fire atronach into a rat.

Comments:  Wabbajack is a fun artifact.  It looks like an staff made of iron, but when you strike your opponent, it is changed into something else.  Multiple strikes do not yield multiple transformations.  One of the benefits of using Wabbajack is that you usually wind up with two sets of treasure (the original treasure and the treasure that the new critter has).  The problem is that you have no control over what you get, so use it cautiously and be prepared for anything.
