This concept was done by me,
I had given myself a assignment to develope a shamanic post apocalyptic staff, which could enhance health or destroy!
A weapon that could heal or destroy?
I didn't wanted a weapon that was based on fiction but on historical fact, so I sat down and let my thoughts flow.

Inspiration came from a song called CloudBusting from Kate Bush, in this song she was referencing a device invented by Wilhelm Reich.
The device was invented for streaming and capturing orgone energy.
