Treasure: Wand of Fireball

Treasure: Wand of Fireball

Here's another piece of fantasy treasure piles - a wand of fireball. Here I present three power variations, and each variation is build either as a Sorcery item or a Metatronic Generator. You can find the Fireball spell in Pyramid #3-63. Here and in the previous post we see a trend - on lower TLs metatronic generators are cheaper than Sorcery items, even when the spell-less variation is used, and on higher TLs metatronic generators are much more expensive.

Lesser Wand of Fireball

Lesser Wand of Fireball – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery)

You throw a ball of fire (about the size of a softball) at a single target. Use Innate Attack (Projectile) to hit, applying normal range penalties. It does 1d burning damage.

If your foe is within one yard of you, he may attempt to parry this attack (actually parrying your wand). If such a parry is successful, you must roll against DX to avoid hitting yourself with your own fireball! SM-6, DR 2, HP 6, 0.5 lb. LC3.
