Players will deal 4d(5.5 + 10.5 * Evocations/20) untyped damage with this wand.[1] Players have a to-hit of 10.6 + (3.5 * Evocations)/25.[2]
Monsters will deal 3d(7 + (30 + HD)/12) damage with this wand.[3]
When the wand deals damage to a monster, it has a 100% chance to blind for 54/HD to 2 * 54/HD turns (min. 1-2 turns).[4] Note that some monsters are immune to blinding. If it deals damage to the player, it has a 1/3 chance of confusing them for 2-3 turns instead.[5]
