• [evilhack] Inherently unusable wand of wishing?

    From Janis Papanagnou@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 12 09:44:01 2024
    I found a random wand of wishing at Medusa's level (might have been a death-drop). I identified it as a "corroded wand of wishing (1:0)".
    It cannot be recharged, it cannot be wrested for "the last wish", etc.
    What's the point of generating a useless wand? - Or is there some use?

    Couldn't you wield it and read a scroll of enchant weapon with confusion?

    That would make it rustproof, wouldn't it?

    You'd need charging, but you cannot charge an empty and already
    recharged wand of wishing.
