Buckler Wand (Magic Wand)

This is a short, thick, wand about 1.5 feet in length with an exceptionally sharp point on one end and a trigger mechanism built into the opposite end, which is blunt. The wand is usable by any character except one of the priest class and can be activated with an initiative modifier of one. When the thick end is grasped firmly, and the trigger pressed, the tip of the wand becomes the equivalent of a dagger +1 and the rest of the shaft blossoms into a round shield of buckler size having a +1 magic value. The whole becomes equal to a spiked buckler +1. Because of its dweomer, it can be employed by wizards, but no spells can be cast when it is in buckler form unless the possessor is a multi-classed character with fighter abilities in addition to wizard abilities. A thief who employs the wand's powers cannot climb walls or perform other abilities requiring the use of their hands while holding the device.
