A wand of cancellation can be used to:
- change potions into water
- change scrolls into blank scrolls
- neutralize monsters by taking away their special attacks
- neutralize negative and positive enchantments of weapons and armor
- uncurse and unbless items
- erase engravings
Putting a charged wand of cancellation into a bag of holding will cause a magical explosion that will destroy the bag and everything within it. Don't do this.
Zapping a wand of cancellation at a clay golem will erase some writing on its head, killing it instantly.
Among other special attacks, Magicbane has a cancellation attack, which is similar to zapping something with a wand of cancellation.
