- Other deity's name: each night is filled with erotic dreams about the god
- Reversal of any of the items on this list: same effect, only inverted
- Any spell name: rod is loaded with a random, non-lethal spell (i.e. not the spell carved). If there's already a spell loaded, it will mix with the new
- Name of birthplace: wielder is teleported three metres in random direction each time he/she is hurt

- Words without meaning: rod becomes edible & nutritious for ten seconds, and will feel like a loaf of bread

- Name of a song: the wielder can hear the tune playing repeatedly inside his/her head the next 24 hours. If the rod is used like a lummi stick during this time, a random spell is loaded into the rod of same level as the number of minutes the wielder kept drumming (unless he/she plays out of tune; then the rod starts burning)
- The word "ROD": random words are carved by an unknown force, each one causing an effect as usual (pick up the nearest dictionary and look up ten words randomly, and consult this list for each one)
