Wand of Magic Detection

This wand is similar in operation to an enemy detection wand. If any form of magic is in operation, or a magical item exists within a 30-foot radius, the magic detection wand pulses and points to the strongest source. Note that the wand will point to a person upon whom a spell has been cast.

Operation requires one round, and successive rounds will point out successively less-powerful magical radiations. The school of magic (abjuration, alteration, and so on) can be determined if one round is spent concentrating on the subject emanation. One charge is expended per turn (or fraction thereof) of use. Starting with the second round of continuous use, there is a 2% cumulative chance per round that the wand temporarily malfunctions and indicates nonmagical items as magical, or vice-versa. The wand may be recharged.
