I was under the impression that most wands don't care about the BUC status except for the possible explosion effect.  I zapped a red naga with a cursed wand of cancellation today, I got a message that "the red naga coughs", and then it shot the standard bolt of fire back.  Does the cursed wand not cancel, or is this something else?

Questions

I've read elsewhere that the WoCancellation can strip monsters of their special powers, specifically:

--Stoning --Rusting/Disenchanting --Mind flaying --and, most importantly, summoning demons.

Any confirmations or denials? This would keep Demogorgon from ever appearing, potentially.

Cursed Wand?

I was under the impression that most wands don't care about the BUC status except for the possible explosion effect. I zapped a red naga with a cursed wand of cancellation today, I got a message that "the red naga coughs", and then it shot the standard bolt of fire back. Does the cursed wand not cancel, or is this something else? Avaricious 20:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
