Suspicious stick.

The suspicious stick would be an early game item used to inflict the suspicious stews effect (which is different depending on how it is crafted) on enemy mobs and players, it would be made by dipping a stick in a cauldron containing suspicious stew. It would have the durability probably of that of a fishing rod and only deal 0.5 hearts of damage making up for that with its effects. Occasionally a witch could drop a suspicious stick or even use one as a melee attack.
