+Wands of acid apply the [[Corrosion]] status, which lowers monster [[AC]] significantly. This can provide a substantial boost to damage, especially against tough enemies like [[orbs of fire]], especially when using fast weapons like [[Short Blades]].
 These wands are also good as a backup attack. A Corrosive Bolt is effectively a level 6 spell, and with a few points into Evocations, as strong as one. Plus, only a few monsters resist acid.

 ===Tips & Tricks===
 *Corrosion on monsters doesn't stack.
-*Beware of [[Ijyb]], the goblin with a wand (of acid). Bolt wands are easily the most dangerous wand for a D:3 or so character to face. Thankfully, wands of acid can only be fired at range 5. Other monsters require an [[HD]] of at least 5 to use this; by then, you should have enough HP to tank the first hit.
