Way back when I was playing this on multiplayer I thought I recalled being able to create wands that would automatically attack an enemy if that enemy was in range.

Well I tried making one last night, but it kept firing even when there wasn't an enemy around. So it was in a constant state of recharging stamina and as soon as it hit the necessary level to fire the spell it would do so...even if there was no enemy around.

Any ideas as to what is going on? Or am I just mis-remembering how things used to work?

Thats not supposed to happen. Did you put a rune that makes it autocast the spell? My memory is fuzzy.

I think so. I did the continuous rune along with the enemy only rune.
