Blasting Rod

The Blasting Rod (衝撃の杖(ブラスティングロッド)) is the magical staff that is in the possession of Aleister Crowley. It is a magical rod that is powerful enough to defeat Fiamma of the Right. The staff is said to follow and obey Aleister Crowley out of pure respect.

Concept and Origin
The Blasting Rod (or the 'Staff of Striking') is based off of a similarly named magic staff, supposedly owned by Charles Henry Allan Bennett, a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and a friend and mentor to Aleister Crowley.

According to Aleister Crowley's own accounts, Charles Bennett constructed a magical wand, made of lustre -- a long glass prism with a neck and a pointed knob such as adorned old-fashioned chandeliers. The wand in question was mounted in a wooden handle painted or carved with various power words, which he carried around with him. One day while he and Charles Bennett went out for a walk, a group of people were ridiculing the use of wands. According to Aleister Crowley, the ridiculing prompted Charles Bennett to make use of his wand and blasted one of them, which put the individual into unconsciousness for fourteen hours before coming to.

Appearance
It is simply described as a bent silver rod, although its form is far more elaborate, where it is shown to have intertwining tendrils at the tip of the rod. The rod's outer color is still silver, however, the rod appears to have a greenish-blue color in the inner parts of the wand where the tendrils come to intertwine. It is most probably derived from the crystal-like object that the tendrils surround.

According to Kiyotaka Haimura, he designed the rod to have a plant motiff associated with it.

The rod is first seen after the failed attempt of Oriana Thomson and Ridovia Lorenzetti to take over Academy City using the Croce di Pietro. It is shown on a screen during the moment where Aleister pondered to himself about the possibility of taking action personally, after the events of the arc.

World War III Arc
The rod's physical form and power is first featured after Fiamma of the Right's defeat at the hands of Kamijou Touma. Aleister Crowley arrives before Fiamma of the Right after being angered due to Fiamma's actions during the arc, and especially having seen the power that Touma possessed inside him after he previously ripped of his right arm. The battle between Fiamma and Aleister is short-lived, as Aleister using the rod easily overpowers the weakened Fiamma even with the use of his Holy Right, although he survives the attack.
