[2] Range is (4/3/2 B/U/C) * PP + level + 30.

[3] Bounces off walls.

[4] Cannot be recharged.

[5] Always auto-identifies on use. Other wands identify on success only.

[6] 0: The wand reaffirms you with a soothing hum. 1-2: You feel calm... mostly. 3-5: You feel some concern. 6-9: You sense trouble brewing. 10+: You feel as if you are in deep kimmshee!
