Fire Wand

The idea behind the Fire Wand is the same that is behind the concept of the Firedoom Staff, to create a weapon that enables the non-magic user to dish out battle magic. The Fire Wand was introduced at the time of the False Prophet and proved to be a devastating weapon, but still far weaker than the Firedoom Staff. It also has another disadvantage, it only has limited charges, so the user has to be careful not to empty the Wand too fast.

In Ultima VI, these wands could only be found as loot, but were one of the strongest weapons in the game, apart from devastating spells.

In the time of Ultima VII, this was still true, but their strength had lessened a bit. Several were said to be in the dungeon Shame, Alagner of New Magincia is also said to have one.

Trivia

 * Fire Wands are also found on the Serpent Isle in Ultima VII/2, but their fire is blue in this case. The Goblins are said to have looted a number of these. The female mage Frigidazzi is also known to own one.
