A wand of slow monster is a wand that will make monsters slow down (take more turns to move or attack). It can be identified by engraving: it will make the bugs on the ground slow down.

Note that the wand of death and the wand of sleep both make the bugs stop completely, thus you can distinguish them from this wand.

Generation

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