As a Magic action, throw this staff so it lands in an unoccupied space within 10 feet, causing it to become a Giant Constrictor Snake under your control. It shares your Initiative count and acts immediately after you.

On your turn, you can mentally command it without an action if it is within 60 feet and you aren’t Incapacitated. You decide its action and movement or give a general command. Without commands, it defends itself.

As a Bonus Action, command it to revert to staff form in its current space; you can’t use the property again for 1 hour. If the snake drops to 0 Hit Points, it dies and reverts, and the staff shatters and is destroyed. If it reverts before losing all Hit Points, it regains all of them.
