id
You can id the /oP by engraving over the writing in the dust. The writing will change unlike other $200 wands. --95.220.131.15 11:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

altars and boulders
It would be good to mention what, if anything, happens when one zaps an altar. (I.e., is there a luck or alignment penalty?) The effect of zapping boulders should also be noted. --Mitlcl (talk) 02:46, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
