Lightning wand

A Lightning Wand is a magically charged rod which discharges bolts of electrical energy at its targets. It appears in  Ultima VI,  Ultima VII,  Ultima Underworld II and  Ultima VII Part Two.

Description
Lightning wands may be wielded by anyone, regardless of their arcane abilities, which makes them an ideal weapon for those who wish to employ a magical means of defense but lack competency as spell-casters. Like the similarly enchanted fire wand, however, lightening wands have a limited number of viable charges, and will eventually drain themselves of their magical potency if used too frequently.
