Wand of flame

Version 0.24: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Type	Wand
Name	Wand of flame
Icon

A magical device which throws little puffs of flame.

A wand of flame has the same effect as the spell Throw Flame, but its power is based on your Evocations skill (15+2.5×Evocations). An individual wand on the ground can have up to 45 charges. As with all wands, this will merge with other wands of flame when picked up.

Like other sources of fire, if it crosses a pool of water it will create a cloud of steam.

Tips & Tricks

Although it does produce fire, wands of flame are not powerful enough to burn trees. You'll need the fireball spell for that.

Use this to take out electric eels even at low skill; the steam will block vision while damaging them.

History

Prior to 0.16, this wand could hold up to 24 charges.
