This dreaded rod is a bane to all classes, for its touch will drain any item of all magical properties unless a save vs. the cancellation is made.
Contact is made by scoring a normal "to hit" score in combat melee.
 
 

Saving Throw	Item
20	potion
19	scroll
17	ring
14	rod
13	staff
15	wand
12	miscellaneous magic item
3	artifact or relic
11 (8)	armor or shield (if +5)
9 (7)	sword (holy sword)
10	miscellaneous weapon

Several small items, such as magic arrows or bolts, together in one container will be drained simultaneously.

If the score indicated, or higher, is not rolled (d20), the item is drained.
Upon the item's draining, the rod itself becomes brittle and is no longer
potent. Drained items are not restorable, even by wish.
 

Q: How is a rod of cancellation made?
A: That device is created using enchant an
item and probably anti-magic shell spells,
as well as whatever other time and material
requirements and success rates the
DM wishes to impose. As this item is quite
valuable (see the DMG, pages 122 and
133), its construction should be difficult
and expensive.
