-Place holder page for Wands
+Wands and staves are limited use items that can fire off spells much like scrolls can, allowing players that are not adept at spells to gain but instead of reading a scroll to instantly fire it, you first apply the wand or staff to ready it, then fire it as you would a typical spell. The level on the wand or staff denotes how powerful the spell contained relatively is. The number of charges is limited, but can be recharged with Scrolls of Charging (by first marking the wand or staff, then using the scroll, make sure you're not standing somewhere like in the middle of a town that blocks spells!), though the more a wand or staff is recharged in this way, the higher the chance it will explode and be destroyed.
+Wands and staves are useful not only because they allow you to cast spells you have not yet learned, but also because there's no casting delay on them, meaning spells can be fired from them much faster than casting the spell naturally.
+Functionally the only difference between a wand and a staff are the spells contained within. Wands can hold spells that use Mana such as Sorcery, Pyromancy, Evocation, and Summoning spells, whereas staves hold Praying spells like Word of Recall and Heal.
