A Real Wand of Everything.

[Stephen_Zuckerman]

Okay, so I recently saw this: http://archive.gamespy.com/comics/nodwick/gamespyarchive/Nodwick1pager340.jpg

It gave me an idea.

So, I went here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/wands.htm

I tried cobbling together a Wand of Everything. I figured out that a fully charged one would cost 481500gp... Assume command word change and Wizard Glue costs you an extra nearly two thousand all in all, and you've got a Wand of Everything with 50 charges.

Here are the spells, and the subsequent costs, that I selected.

Burning hands     750 gp
Color spray     750 gp
Magic missile (1st)     750 gp
Magic missile (3rd)     2,250 gp
Magic missile (5th)     3,750 gp
Hold person     4,500 gp
Acid arrow     4,500 gp
Shatter     4,500 gp
Silence     4,500 gp
Web     4,500 gp
Magic missile (7th)     5,250 gp
Magic missile (9th)     6,750 gp
Call lightning (5th)     11,250 gp
Contagion     11,250 gp
Fireball (5th)     11,250 gp
Lightning bolt (5th)     11,250 gp
Slow     11,250 gp
Fireball (6th)     13,500 gp
Lightning bolt (6th)     13,500 gp
Searing light (6th)     13,500 gp
Call lightning (8th)     18,000 gp
Fireball (8th)     18,000 gp
Lightning bolt (8th)     18,000 gp
Dimensional anchor     21,000 gp
Fear     21,000 gp
Ice storm     21,000 gp
Inflict critical wounds     21,000 gp
Poison     21,000 gp
Ray of enfeeblement, heightened (4th level)     21,000 gp
Wall of fire     21,000 gp
Fireball (10th)     22,500 gp
Lightning bolt (10th)     22,500 gp
Chaos hammer (8th)     24,000 gp
Holy smite (8th)     24,000 gp
Order’s wrath (8th)     24,000 gp
Unholy blight (8th)     24,000 gp

Total: 481500 gp

Now, this is assuming a fully-charged Wand of Everything. But that's a bit silly; who needs THAT much firepower in one shot? Let's give it, say... One charge. A one-shot item. Then again, WHO NEEDS MORE THAN ONE SHOT!?

Let's assume that with one charge instead of fifty, it'll cost 1/50th the regular price. Assume costs for command word change and Wizard Glue, and you've got a 10,000 gp Wand of Everything, more or less.

The mind boggles.

Anyone care to do a calculation of saving throws and damage/effects? I'd do it now, but I need sleep.

Best of luck, guys.

I personally am highly in favour of the command word "Abrapocalypse!".

AbraCApocalypse, my frie- *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!*

On rough estimation... 27d4+27 (Magic Missile), 58d6 (Lightning and Fireball)... Aw, heck, who cares about the rest? That's already better than a Hellball. 425 max damage right there.
