Wand of Fire

Wands of Fire have two abilities instead of one, when compared to other wands. This is one of the more powerful wands, but also more expensive. This wand has the ability to conjure a fireball, like the 3rd level spell Fireball, and to send a column of flame towards the target, like the 2nd level spell Agannazar's Scorcher. For both abilities a save roll vs wands for half damage can be made. But, like all other wands, it has a limited quantity of charges, and should it run out in any one of its abilities it will destroy itself, even if the other ability still had charges remaining.
==Description==
==Fireball ability==
The Fireball ability will inflict 6d6 points of fire damage that will affect friend and foe alike who are in the 15-foot radius from where the fireball exploded into a wave of flames. A save roll vs wands for half damage can be made. The range is 90 ft.
==Agannazar's Scorcher ability==
The Agannazar's Scorcher ability sends a column of flame towards the target, inflicting 6d6 +6 points of fire damage (Save vs Wands for half), while the original spell can inflict only 3d6 points of damage (No save). Compared to the Wizard's spell version, the wand's scorcher jet is much longer in length (2X40 feet), almost three times lengthier.
Note: The spell description states that the area of effect is 1 creature, but in fact the jet of flame inflicts damage to anyone, friend or foe, standing in the path of the flame jet between the caster and the target. The one-creature term is technically correct for target selection purposes. If the target has Spell Turning active, it will reflect part of the scorcher back to damage the wand user.

==Notes==
Some of these wands come with a fixed number of charges, and for each charge you can pick either ability. The Wand of Fire that Erdane sells comes with 20 charges of Fireball and 1 charge of Agannazar's Scorcher. When that 1 charge of Agannazar's Scorcher is used, the wand is destroyed, no matter how many charges of Fireball remain.
The wands description "..column of flame.." is awkward usage, as a column is generally defined in most cases with a vertical perspective, and this wand's scorcher is using a lateral orientation.
