hercufles: but what can i do with the wand i heard i can enchant it? how does that work?
When you rest at an inn you can choose to try and learn a wand spell with your mage. It may or may not work, if it doesn't it is a good idea to keep trying to get them all before heading off on your quest.
Spell #1 makes the wand unbreakable.
Spell #2 Will make the wand double up as a torch, very useful and will save you lugging around torches.
Spell#3 Can turn the wand into a length of rope.
Spell#4 Will let your mage cast spells at a reduced cost.
Later in the game when you start getting your hands on poison try using some on the wand, its a good tip i read in one of the manuals and does provide a nice alternate attack for the mage when the astral points are starting to dry up.
