''Work in progress!''A monster is one of the most common causes of death.
A wand is basically a small thin stick made of wood, metal or something solid, which may be carved or sometimes ornate. They are provided with a random number of charges, which can be replenished with a [[Scrolls|scroll of charging]].
All wands in IVAN contain some sort of magic, and you can [z]ap them to invoke the power. And, when a wand is broken by some external force, it releases its raw power around it, which can be very dangerous. You must have at least one usable hand to zap them. == General Monsters ==
You can also intentionally break wands by [a]pplying them. Applying the wand does not require any charge.=== Hostile Creatures ===
