As the bonuses are of a minor nature, it is a useful item for any older wizard (for any old character in fact!), not too powerful but just the thing that you'd wish to have at your side, when the time comes. The main power would be that of improved coordination I guess.
I can imagine that once the process becomes known, wizards will be creating it regularly - a fine base for a Generic Magical Item! Go to Comment
You know, for an added silly effect (as well as more usefulness), it could be enchanted to deal large subdual damage if whacked upon people. While an old gramp hitting people with his cane tends to look laughable, it may be an excellent weapon of protection. Go to Comment
While ironic, I did not need the creator of the cane to die for this item to work for me.
I would think that this would be a "common item" something any mage might make (though they might put it in a staff). This kind of item could very happily rank up there with charms and little hexed talismans for "every day" items. Go to Comment
The idea is wonderful, pragmatic, and practical, complete with a suitable dash of irony. Unfortunately the sub is short, but I guess there isnt too much that can be written on this one.
Interesting piece of irony. A solid item, though depending on how it's used and the exact nature of the benifits, it could become either an enhancement of a good character, or another tool to be exploited by a bad character. Go to Comment

Remember what the elders said: a good source of proverbs is always handy for giving flavour to a game world, or simply annoying player characters with. Old people have always words of wisdom for the younger generation, pity they seldom listen to them.
