Carve hoopak VS lord's walking stick

help carve

 Keywords: 'Carve Hoopak'
--------------------------

   Syntax: carve <staff>

   With this ability, kender may attempt to carve a hoopak from any
   staff he carries, and the chance of success depends on his skill.
   This new-made hoopak would possess all the properties of the staff
   it was made from, and could be used with thrust and whirl skills.

   Normally, a hoopak will wear out after some period of time (the
   more powerful the source staff is, the less is the lifetime), but
   there is also a possibility to create a durable hoopak which will
   never be played out.

   Note that hoopaks created with the use of this ability are only
   usable by kenders.

According to the help, 'any staff' can be converted.

According to the lore, a stick is a staff.
