Type Wand
Name Wand of random effects
Icon Wand of random effects.png
A magical device which can produce a variety of effects.

“[The principle of selection] is the magician’s wand, by means of which he may summon into life whatever form and mould he pleases.”

-William Youatt, _Sheep: their breeds, management, and diseases; to which is added the Mountain Shepherd's Manual_, ch. III. 1837.

A wand of random effects creates an unpredictable effect when zapped, emulating any other wand except for the wand of heal wounds. Although there are far more attack wands than support wands, its usefulness in combat is questionable. You must decide if it's worth the risk of hasting, polymorphing, or rendering a dangerous enemy invisible.
