Wands

Wands are an exciting new prospect for the new year. Each wand is imbued with a special power to hold spells. These wands come with limited charges, however! Each spell point that is wished to be stored costs 10gp above and beyond the cost of the wand. No wand may safely hold more than 25sp. When purchasing or recharging a wand, please specify the spell you wish to imbue. You may choose from the Cleric, Druid, Illusionist, or Mage list. No guild or tournament spells can be imbued in a wand. Each wand must be purchased with enough spell points to cast the requested spell at least once for maximum duration. No player may own more than one wand per spell list.

When a wand has been completely spent (0sp remaining) a new spell of the same list may be charged to that wand, negating the old spell. Wands are listed on character sheets thusly:

WANDS: Ball of Fire (0), Armor (15)

This user has two seperate wands and has two different spells. The Wand of Ball of Fire has been exhausted and may be recharged at 10gp per point or be reassigned a new spell (say Minor Reflect) still at 10gp per point. All spells are stored only by spell points. A user can cast a 1-6 round Armor with this wand with the appropriate number of spell points being subtracted. If the Armor wand is a new one, it would have cost 650gp.

Wands may be used by any class. To successfully use a wand, the user must roll a flat 8 on a d20. Because of their innate abilities with magics, part casters have a +1 to cast when using wands and full casters have a +2 when using wands (for a 7 and 6 to cast, respectively). On a critical miss, the user must save versus a lost round as usual. In addition, there is a chance the wand may lose its stored energy. A further flat save vs dissipation must be rolled. An 8 or higher must be rolled on a d20. On a critical cast (20 on a 20) only half spell points are used (rounded up).
