The guidelines for the wand of wonder (Dungeon Masters Guide, page 136) state that the
DM may see fit to CHANGE the wand's effects.  This has been done herein for 3 new
wands of wonder.  It should be noted that all of these wands' spell-like effects are at the 6th
level of magick USE (as stated in the DMG, page 135), with regard to damage, range, duration,
area of effect, etc., as applicable.  Measurements given in inches refer to scale inches
(1" = 10' indoors or 30' outdoors).  Saves are applicable for the spell effects in question
|or| as stated in each wand's effects.  Most effects should be removable with a dispel
magick spell, CAST against the 6th level of USE, unless otherwise noted.  Special Game effects
should be determined by the GM (e.g., heavy rain might make some surfaces very slick,
wash away small items, and ruin books and papers).  Summoned creatures disappear if
SLAIN, and summoning effects otherwise conform to the monster summoning spell ov the
level appropriate to the type ov create being produced.  Nonliving items that r produced r
permanent and cannot be dispelled.

These wands use only one charge per usage, and they can never be recharged. It is highly
recommended that the DM roll all of each wand?s effects in order to keep the nature of the
roll-up tables a secret; the number of charges in each wand should also be kept secret so
players do not overuse them (this is true of any rod, staff, or wand).

The DM may determine which type of wand of wonder a player character has in his
possession by rolling 1d4 (on a roll of 1, the wand is number ?I,? etc.). All of these tables
may be used for a single wand if so desired by first rolling 1d4 for the wand number and
1d100 for that wand?s effects. The original wand is reprinted below (with a few additions)
for quick comparison and is referred to as the wand of wonder I.

Note that, in the hands of a leprechaun (see wand IV, effect 85-87), a wand of wonder is <link>
very dangerous, as he is able to create any effect he so wishes upon command. This is also
said to be true of jesters (see the Best of DRAGON® Magazine Anthology, Vol. IV).
