If successful, you can "override any command that the construct might have and replace them with new commands as if the wielder were the creator of that contruct." Dominate monster is a prerequisite for creation. If the construct is by itself, you can get it to do anything. This rod will basically allow you to control an unlimited number of constructs at will. If the creator is present, however, an opposed Charisma contest is probably in order to determine who is in command. Finally, this should probably not work on Living Constructs, since they are free-willed beings who lack the compulsion the follow the order of their creators. That is, being the "creator of that construct" grants one no power of command.
