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 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.  You can also intentionally break wands by [a]pplying them. Applying the wand does not require any charge.
