The '''wand of wonder''', added in [[Slash'EM Extended]] and [[SLASHTHEM]], has a randomized effect when zapped.

Each time you zap a wand of wonder, one of the following events may occur, each with a 1/21 probability:
{|class="prettytable"
|1
|The surrounding area is illuminated, as with a [[wand of light]].
|-
|2
|Undiscovered [[secret door]]s, [[mimic]]s, and [[trap]]s in the player's vicinity are revealed, as with a [[wand of secret door detection]].
|-
|3
|A monster is created, as with a [[wand of create monster]]. There is a 1/23 chance of creating 2-8 monsters.
|-
|4
|6-12 monsters are generated, as with a [[wand of create horde]].
|-
|5
|"''Multicolored sparks fly from the wand.''" There is a 0.1% chance that this will grant a [[wish]].
|-
|6
|"''You feel self-knowledgeable...''" Grants [[enlightenment]], as with a [[wand of enlightenment]]. This [[exercise]]s [[wisdom]].
|-
|7
|You [[detect monsters]] for 11-30 turns and exercise wisdom. If you already had 300+ turns of monster detection, the wand only adds 10 turns.
|-
|8
|You [[object detection|detect objects]] on the level. This exercises wisdom.
|-
|9
|You detect traps on the level. This exercises wisdom.
|-
|10
|"''You feel insightful!''" You get to [[identify]] 1-5 items. This exercises wisdom.
|-
|11
|"''You feel like someone is helping you!''" Each cursed item in your pack has a 20% chance of being uncursed.
|-
|12
|"''You feel someone is punishing you for your misbehavior!''" You are [[punish]]ed, as with a [[wand of punishment]].
|}

There is also a 3/7 chance of the wand having no effect. ("''Nothing happens.''")

Every time a wand of wonder is zapped, there is a 1% chance that it will explode, [[Abuse|abusing]] [[strength]].

==Origin==
The wand of wonder originally appeared in [[NetHack: The Next Generation]]. It was inspired by a similar item in the [[roguelike]] [[Angband]], which had a random effect whenever zapped, drawn from the effects of any other wand in that game.
