A series of seven metallic rods with sharpened ends and the capability to fold, so as to become flat, Maestro is concealed by slipping 6 of the rods into the primary rod. The primary rod's entire form is silver, rather than black and it tapers to one end. However, when it is to be used, Maestro is overturned and its ornate handle splits open in two directions with the application of pressure in select areas. In response each rod hidden therein is extracted—this can be done individually or sequentially. As each rod slips out of its casing it unfolds and, as its end meets the top of the shaft within which it is stored, Anti-alchemy substance in addition to trace amounts of mercury and a fair deal of iron in liquid state, all of which is pressurized to an extreme degree so as to fill the hollow of the rod in question. This occurs for each rod in addition to them being electrically charged, the engines and static absorbers within their forms activating.
Once removed the rods emit their own electromagnetic field, which can be manipulated via the application of pressure on the “cane,” which also remains charged, in addition to possessing its own store of the aforementioned substance. Like all the rods, the main rod has a series of slots, which can open and close to intake or expel Ax3. The substances within the rods, due to being electrically charged, can be manipulated by the field cast by the rods and, furthermore, can be heated within the rods and expelled in a liquid or gaseous form in the case of Ax3.
Additionally, it should be noted that if planted into the ground, the rods are capable of focusing their EM field into the area designated by their arrangement. Separately, each rod projects a 10 meter EM field. This includes the “cane,” but unlike the other rods, Maestro's core is capable of exerting influence over its electromagnetic field directly. This is done, once more, via the application of pressure on the handle.
These traits, overall, make Maestro a rather versatile tool—if somewhat weighty due to the three aforementioned substance contained within it. The amounts are as follow: 117 fluid ounces of Ax3, 76.7 fluid ounces of mercury and 67.6 fluid ounces of iron. This results in Maestro, in its concealed state, weighing precisely 141 lbs. In its active form, Maestro's weight is divvied between its 7 rods making each weigh approximately 20 lbs. The question thus remains, how is Maestro easily carried and wielded when concealed as a cane? Simply put, its magnetic field acts upon it and is manipulated by pressure applied to the handle, as per the usual. This means that Maestro appears to act as a normal cane in Raythe's hands, but in those of any other becomes a nigh useless implement.

Maestro's components are linked wirelessly both to each other—so as to transmit commands to modify their EM field(s)—and to the rest of Raythe's equipment. Maestro is composed of an alchemically modified material, which acts more or less the same as a metal, but is about as easy to damage as diamond while being as durable as titanium.
