Whatever that thing is, one thing's certain: That stick is definitely more than it looks.

The ancient people weren't kidding when they say "Don't judge a book by its cover"; the ordinary look of this buried treasure could very well be just a way to throw audience off - an enemy underestimated is one to lose to. Think about it - if the stick really is just an ordinary healing item, then why the efforts? Even at 800 years ago people would still be massively using them(at least I would) - Common sense: the Crusaders would probably went ahead and use them in the armies for medical purposes and made their armies invincible already - they wouldn't be so scared of it and lock it in a box openable only to seven specific keys and a Grimm's blood, then bury it behind a bunch of dead people underground in the middle of nowhere!

Can't shake the feeling that the stick is like some sort of charge-o'-meter - it heals wounds and illnesses, sure, but every time it heals it absorbs the... disease or injuries or whatever and charges up, and when it heals to a certain amount and the charge is complete it'll unleash a big wave of plague and... whatever comes next.
