D&D Beyond: Staff of Swarming Insects

Source: Dungeon Master’s Guide

Consumable: No

This staff has 10 charges.

Insect Cloud. While holding it, take a Magic action and expend 1 charge to fill a 30-foot Emanation originating from you with harmless flying insects for 10 minutes. The area is Heavily Obscured for creatures other than you. A strong wind such as Gust of Wind disperses the swarm.

Spells. While holding it, cast using your spell save DC and spell attack modifier:

• Giant Insect — 4 charges
• Insect Plague — 5 charges

The staff regains 1d6 + 4 charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll 1d20; on a 1, a swarm of insects consumes and destroys the staff, then disperses.
