The rod is used as a normal force weapon in combat, with an additional bonus of being able to break protective psychic auras on contact, on top of that the wielder may draw the stored psychic energy from the rod to increase the power of the attack.{{Fn|4b}}{{Fn|7}} Force rods are in some ways analogous to well as for other psyker equipment like [[Null Rod|null rodspsychic hood]]s.{{CMEFn|19}}
