The '''wand of water''' is a new wand introduced in [[SpliceHack]] and later adapted by [[Hack'EM]]. This wand shoots an unreflectable [[beam]] which splashes its target with water.

==Identification==
This wand will [[auto-identify]] on zapping: "You fire off a powerful jet of water!"

When [[engrave]]d with, if there is a pre-existing message, it will be washed away and auto-identify ("The bugs on the <floor> get washed away!")

==Effects==
Zapping yourself drenches you and your items in water. If you are wielding a [[rubber hose]], "You hose yourself down!", otherwise "You get drenched!"

Breaking this wand results in a splash ("KER-SPLOOSH!") that drenches the surrounding squares with water.

When zapped over items and tiles, lit [[lamp]]s will be extinguished and [[bloody tile]]s will be washed clean.

When zapped at a [[drawbridge]], nothing happens except the message "Splash!"

If zapped downward the wand displays the message, "Rain? Here?"

'''Zapped monsters:'''
* An [[earth elemental]] will be transformed into a [[mud elemental]].<ref>https://github.com/NullCGT/SpliceHack/blob/8d70ade6f015c7894c171af691393327983173fe/src/zap.c#L191</ref>
* A [[water elemental]] is instead healed for 6d6 HP.<ref>https://github.com/NullCGT/SpliceHack/blob/8d70ade6f015c7894c171af691393327983173fe/src/zap.c#L184</ref>
* Fiery monsters take 12d6 damage. <ref>https://github.com/NullCGT/SpliceHack/blob/8d70ade6f015c7894c171af691393327983173fe/src/zap.c#L197</ref>
* All other monsters take 1d6 damage and have their armor eroded.

If you are engulfed by an [[ice vortex]] and you zap a wand of water, this will cause [[instadeath]].<ref>https://github.com/NullCGT/SpliceHack/blob/8d70ade6f015c7894c171af691393327983173fe/src/zap.c#L179</ref> If engulfed by a different type of monster you just get the message "Ugh! Now it's slippery in here!"

Monsters will be happy to zap you with this wand. If you are hit as a form that likes fire you take 12d6, otherwise just 1d6 damage.

== Hack'EM==
{{wand
|name = deluge
|cost = 175
|type = ray
|maxcharges = 8
|muse = off
}}

In [[Hack'EM]] it was renamed to the '''wand of deluge''' to avoid naming conflicts with [[potions of water]]. It was also converted to a [[ray]]-type wand to mirror (and use) the breath attack of [[sea dragon]]s. As a result, the water ray can be reflected if you or a monster possesses [[reflection]].

A wand of deluge is guaranteed on the [[Lawful Quest]] in the statue of the [[arch lich]].

The water ray can also destroy [[forge]]s.<ref>https://github.com/elunna/hackem/blob/a864feac9dbfbe68c02193a52c2c9fc071095db9/src/zap.c#L5693</ref>

On breaking this wand there is also chance of creating a [[rust trap]]. The more charges on the wand the higher the chance of creating the trap.

There some additional effects for zapping monsters (or yourself if you are polymorphed into one of these forms):
* Like the sea dragons breath attack, this water ray deals considerable damage to monsters that don't resist it - 6d8 damage. Unfortunately, many monsters in the dungeon are [[amphibious]] and/or [[breathless]] and will completely resist this attack.<ref>https://github.com/elunna/hackem/blob/a864feac9dbfbe68c02193a52c2c9fc071095db9/src/zap.c#L7484</ref> For reference, roughly 5% of monsters in Hack'EM are amphibious and 21% are breathless.
* Firey monsters take an additional 6d6 damage from a water ray instead of 12d6 in SpliceHack.<ref>https://github.com/elunna/hackem/blob/a864feac9dbfbe68c02193a52c2c9fc071095db9/src/zap.c#L7480</ref>
* [[Sea dragon]]s and [[baby sea dragon]]s will just absorb the water ray without any damage.
* [[Water elemental]]s are still healed for 6d6 HP.
* [[Iron golems]] and [[steel golem]]s are now [[instakill]]ed by the water ray.<ref>https://github.com/elunna/hackem/blob/a864feac9dbfbe68c02193a52c2c9fc071095db9/src/zap.c#L5280</ref>
* If you are engulfed by an [[ice vortex]] and zap the water ray - you are not instakilled, but you still take 6d6 damage and are expelled.<ref>https://github.com/elunna/hackem/blob/a864feac9dbfbe68c02193a52c2c9fc071095db9/src/zap.c#L7461</ref>
