Neurotraumal Rod
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Neurotraumal Rod is a type of device used by Genestealer Cult Locuses.[1]
Each Locus carries a Neurotraumal Rod that is no simple staff but instead a complex neurological transmitter crafted for them by their Magus and Clamavus. It sends out destabilizing frequencies designed to upset synapses and thought waves. When a Magus goes to "negotiate" with a particular powerful enemy such as Cardinal or Inquisitor, the Locus accompanying it will send out waves of mental disruption that induce brain spasms, migraines, and harrowing visions in its victims.[1]
