Talk:Spider Control Rod

As soon as i grabbed the Spider Control Rod a Robot Spider appeared from the right of the bench the Rod was displayed on. 2 Laboratory guards also came into the room to which the Spider started attacking the guards with its sparks weapon/magic.

It is possible to control the Spider's movements by pointing the rod & 'firing' at a location. The Spider will move to that spot.

I was unable to get it out of the ruins though as the Museum guards killed it. If i was not on a Thieves Guild quest at the time i would of killed guards left & right just to see how far i could take it. As per the journal of Calcelmo's nephew though, it does attack anyone that intends/attempts to harm you so i believe it will attack anyone even slightly hostile toward your character.
