Nidus' Wand of Endless Repetition (Magic Wand)

Named for the legendary wizard who by its use gave us the oath “Nidus's Curse!”, examples of this device typically have but 4d12 charges when found. The art of its fabrication is lost and has not yet been rediscovered. Upon command, such a wand emits a gray cone of light that reaches a 40-foot diameter at its maximum range of 15 feet. The cone may be continually maintained at a cost of one charge per round. Creatures caught in its light are allowed a saving throw vs. wand. Any victim not having special magic resistance who is physically touched by the wand gets no saving throw.
Anyone affected by the wand is forced to endlessly repeat actions taken during the preceding two rounds (or at least mimic them, as in the case of a spellcaster, who would continually try to cast the particular spell even after his magic is exhausted). This automation-style cycle of two rounds of action, two rounds of the same actions in reverse to the starting position once again, and so on will continue until dispel magic, remove curse, or a wish is cast upon the victim. Even if the victim should die from lack of food and water, or from damage inflicted by passing creatures, the corpse endlessly completes the cycles until it falls apart.
