Wand of Detect Magic
Reveals all sources of magic in the room to the wand’s user
In years past, it allowed the character to search a room for traces of magic, magical writing, and magical runes. The effect was somewhat short-lived. The player was given a UV light and had 30 seconds to try and find traces of magic, which glowed blue under the special light.
Because all wands require a command word to function, this item cannot be activated if the wielder is magically Silenced.
General Wand Errata: Chargeless wands debuted in 2018. Although we loved seeing more wands being used, we feel that unlimited-use wands are not the ideal path going forward. Starting at Origins 2019, all wands will be consumable, but wands will no longer have a fixed number of charges. When a player wants to use a wand (old or new), they hand the wand token to the DM. Actions permitting, the player may use this wand as much as they desire for the rest of the room. At the end of the room, any wand token used will be collected by the DM.
If you have equipped a Medallion of Mystic Mouth, any hot-swapped wand will also be collected at the end of the room.
