Type	Wand
Name	Wand of hasting
Icon

A magical device which casts enchantments to speed up the actions of a creature at which it is directed.

Useful info

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.

Tips and tricks

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 wands, it can only hold at most 9 charges.
