description of a wand goes here
*Wands in lost souls are used for one purpose, shooting beams/tendrils/bolts/spurts of destructive power at one's enemies.
*There are many varieties of wand, [[Knowledge]] of the different varieties can be acquired intrinsically via the [[Arcane Lore]] (possibly others) skill, or by identifying an example of each type of wand.
*Different varieties deal different damage types, while different individual wands of the same variety can have different activation methods. (This can make it awkward to [[Lenses|lens]] them).
*Seem to be composed of any type of wood or metallic material such as Fir, Rosewood, Titanium, Steel, Scarabinium etc. I have never come across a wand composed of a material that didn't have one of those properties, Bone, or Granite for example, but you never know.

list of known varieties goes here

==Activation==
*[[Lens_of_Insight|Lenses of Insight]] can be used to learn the activation method for a particular wand.
*Activating wands require first that the wand be held, pointed at the desired target, and then activated in the manner specific to it (can be a command word, a particular type of touch, or other).
*[[Wandslingers]] can dispense with this tedious business and are instantly able to use any wand with the wand fire maneuver.

==Wand Charge==
*Wands contain a number of charges, which are consumed with each activation.
*You can check a wand's charge level using the info command.
*It is possible to recharge them by wearing them in a [[Wandslinger_Holster|holster]], or by touching them to a [[Wand_Battery|wand battery]].
*The maximum charge a wand can hold is determined by the [[Enchantment]] skill of the one recharging it (possibly also [[Thaumaturgy]], [[Arcane Lore]], others?).
