-While the wand of summoning is eligible for both offensive and defensive item distribution, the monster AI will primarily use it offensively in order to swarm the player. Once you identify a monster with a wand of summoning, you may want to defeat its wielder as soon as possible, ''if'' at all possible - getting rid of the wand in some manner may also work. Otherwise, standard crowd control tactics are recommended, and even retreating is viable for outlasting the summoned monsters if you cannot take them all on.

-In [[FIQHack]], the wand of summoning replaces the [[wand of create monster]].  This wand operates similarly to the vanilla Wand of create monster, with differences noted below.
+The '''wand of summoning''' is an item in [[FIQHack]] that replaces the [[wand of create monster]].
 ==Generation==
-Monsters may be generated with a wand of summoning in their inventory as either a [[defensive item|defensive]] or an [[offensive item]]. (Their use of it is more similar to a vanilla offensive item's than to a defensive item's; however, due to FIQHack's item use AI advancements, it is not identical to either.)

 ==Effects==
-* Summons monsters based on [[Wands_Balance_Patch|wand skill]]:
+Similar to the wand of create monster, zapping the wand of summoning will temporarily summon one or more monsters, with the number and duration dependent on the user's [[skill]] [[Wands Balance Patch|in wands]]:
-* Summoned monsters last for a specific number of turns based on wand skill:
+* Unskilled: 1 monster, 5 turns
-** Unskilled: 5 turns
+* Basic: d2 monsters, 10 turns
