Property

A willow with ragged, peeling bark that looks clawed by a monster – and often is: owlbears love it as a scratching post and don’t like strangers touching it. Despite the look, its wood is prized for decorative staffs. The bark is used.

Good for: staffs of any kind (good fit), e.g. a staff of power.

Affinity: wood, beasts

In this system

A portion of Clawbark Willow is an empty vessel that can hold 1,000 MP (MP). It only becomes magical when a character charges it. Unique parts are what a special slot is for.
