Spell power?!?

So, I read that wands have a may spell power - where can I find this?--Aargxl (talk) 18:45, 20 July 2019 (CEST)

It's in the article -- 2.5*Evocations + 15 for players, 30+HD for monsters. --spudwalt (talk) 21:57, 20 July 2019 (CEST)

Oh sorry I mistyped - by "may spell power" I meant "max spell power", as in maximum. THere is a max per wand mentioned in the article but I have no clue where to find it, as the referred "spell" should be in the wand's description page itself - there is no spell-page for a spell called "enslavement" for example, and I was searching to find out how far I'd have to train evocations to get the different wands to their maximum value.. also, thanks for the help and lots of replies (this, if percieved as spam, can safely be removed - I hope after spud read it)--Aargxl (talk) 16:42, 21 July 2019 (CEST)

Ah, maximum spell power. That can all be found here, though you'll need to look for the spells the wands cast rather than the wand names (for example, zapping a wand of acid is technically casting Corrosive Bolt).

As for hitting max spell power... I'm not sure that's possible. Iceblast, for example, has a max of 200, which is really hard to reach in Crawl no matter what spell school you're using. With Evocations at 27, you're only up to 82.5 wand power. You could get a little higher with the MP-Powered Wands mutation, but I doubt it's enough to push you up to 200 even without the stepdown effect (which may or may not be a thing with wand spellpower). --spudwalt (talk) 19:17, 21 July 2019 (CEST)

problems w. item picts and charges table

I've tried to upload the git deposited wand picts. Regrettably the result was not fully fine because the normal git (see my upload source ref) didn't contain better. The same about the charges table of wands. I have no reliable source available to put it right at once. So feel free to correct the 0.18 max charges. -- Bwijn (talk) 13:20, 11 June 2016 (CEST)
