The Hollow Staff

This five-foot length of translucent, dark-tinted glass appears completely empty to the naked eye, yet it contains a swirling nebula of absolute nothingness. It is ice-cold to the touch and feels lighter than air. Faint hairline cracks run along its surface, pulsing with a soft violet light that beats in rhythm with a heart that is not there. The staff has no shadow, and it seems to bend light toward its center as if trying to consume the very environment around it.
