Zapping a '''wand of hasting''' affects the target as though it were the recipient of the [[Haste]] spell, reducing the time it takes to complete any action by 33%. This is an extremely valuable find for pure melee fighters or casters who don't wish to bother with [[Charms]], providing indestructible access to a very powerful buff without any wasted XP. Be careful not to overuse it; remaining hasted for too long will cause you to accumulate dangerous levels of [[magical contamination]].

This wand can be zapped at monsters as well, making it excellent when combined with sources of powerful allies. Unlike most other [[wand]]s, it can only hold at most 9 charges.

-Haste is a very powerful buff. Hasting yourself will help in just about any sticky situation, and let you win fights you otherwise wouldn't. Don't be hasted for too long (more than 2 zaps), or you'll be inflicted with dangerous contamination levels.
+Haste is a very powerful buff. Hasting yourself will help in just about any sticky situation, and let you win fights you otherwise wouldn't. Unless you're in a serious emergency, don't be hasted for too long (more than 2 zaps), or you'll be inflicted with dangerous contamination levels.
 When players could still learn the [[Haste]] spell, the wand of hasting allowed you to speed yourself up without any skill investment. Even for those with the spell, wands of hasting can be used during [[silence]].
