<p>You can divide it.. let's see...

<p>I feel that it gives far too many different things. I would separate it in a whole panoply of Sun Wukong : belt (for the tail), quarterstaff, beads (for the shapechanging), cloud.</p>

Just a fun item.</p>
<p>So inspiration for this:</p>
<p>Sun Wukong wields the Ruyi Jingu Bang, a magical rod gifted to him by Ao Kuang, Dragon King of the East Sea. It is an iron rod that weighs thousands of kilograms and can extend/shrink to any size Sun Wukong wishes</p>
<p>He also has his 72 transformations that allows him to turn into other animals and objects. </p>
<p>He has his Somersault Cloud with allows him to leap thousands of miles in a single leap. </p>
<p>Idea was to distill down some of these ideas into a powerful artifact.</p>lol, no. Just a fun item.
