A wand of create monster generates one to eight monsters around your character, consistent with the monster level your character normally generates. Most of the time, only one will be created.

Engraving with this wand creates a monster (or monsters) and automatically identifies it.

Breaking the wand will create a horde of monsters around you, unless the wand has no charges. Breaking a wand with one charge left is a good way to ensure lots of sacrifice materials, so long as you are able to survive the horde.

Generation

Wands comprise 4% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 6% in containers, 5% on the Rogue level, and 8% in Gehennom. There is a 4.5% chance that a randomly-generated wand will be a wand of create monster.
