Wand of Armory II (Magic Wand)

The long-ago wizard Hosta worked on this device for many years, and he had many apprentices; not a few of them carried the knowledge of making the complete and final item away at his death. The sorceress Myschanta of Arabel is known to possess one; others are in the royal treasuries of Cormyr and Aglarond. Many other specimens of this wand are believed to survive—most (since Hosta lived in the North) probably now lie in tombs or dragon hoards. 
One used in a tavern brawl in Waterdeep many years ago had the command word “Plessendar”, the tome High Magic of Mirabar lists among the treasures of that city a wand of armory (since gone missing) with the command word “Skulpin.” Elminster suspects that the parchment found behind paneling in the throne room at Suzail, which bears only the word or name “Ailun,” preserved the command word of Azoun II's vanished wand of armory.
When touched to a target creature (or activated upon the wielder's person), this wand envelops the recipient from head to foot, and on all sides, with an invisible, magical field of force which slows and deflects physical attacks, affording the equivalent of armor class 0 protection.
This field of force can be destroyed by dispel magic, limited wish, disintegrate (which does not affect the protected person, however), or similar, stronger spells; otherwise it lasts for six rounds. During this time it absorbs magic missiles and all electrical attacks (including magical ones) so that they do no harm to the wearer—or anything else coming into contact with the field—but otherwise does not affect spells cast into, or out of, its confines.
The “force armor” may be cast over and in addition to real, physical armor worn by a target, and completely covers any size M or S creature (who need not be conscious, living, or even willing to be so protected; no saving throw allowed). Size L creatures have only their heads and torsos protected by the field of force. All classes may use this wand, which cannot be recharged. Each use of the wand drains one charge.
