	The ''Yeoman's Bounty'' is a serviceable rod usually made of wood from the yew tree (a tree associated with burial grounds), engraved with [[runes]] such as [[Kyrop]], the rune of weakness. .

The ''Yeoman's Bounty'' is a serviceable rod usually made of wood from the yew tree (a tree associated with burial grounds), engraved with [[runes]] such as [[Kyrop]], the rune of weakness. It is sometimes called a ''Lover's Grave'', a ''Last-Ditch Baton'' or occasionally a ''Weapon of Last Resort'' - all references to the fact that invoking its magic prevents the target from being able to use magic or other [[Heroic skills\|heroic abilities]]. Several magicians would sooner cast this spell through this rod than learn it themselves, simply due to the nature of severing an opponent from the source of their power unsettling, especially if they derive great [[pride]] from defeating powerful foes. Using the rod is occasionally frowned upon in [[Dawn]] since the [[weakness]] spell can be seen as reducing the [[glory]] of a battle by robbing an opponent of their most impressive abilities.

	Wintermark magicians who become [[Wintermark religious beliefs#The Frayed\|Frayed]] occasionally arm themselves with these rods and seek out powerful barbarian ~~shamans~~ and warlords during battle to strike down with it, as an act of self-sacrifice. This tactic, and the rod itself, are sometimes known as ''Mouse's Bite'', as a weak or civilian magician robs a much more potent foe of their might. Obviously such gambits are extremely dangerous for the magician in question, thus acquiring and bonding to this rod is sometimes taken as a sign of despair or desperation by close confidantes, but also a display of [[Courage]].
