The wand of fire is quite easy to identify; engrave with it and it will burn into the ground. (Engraving into ice complicates things.) It is one of those directional attack wands; in emergencies, you can use it against most monsters. The ray can hit multiple monsters.
You want to obtain reflection or fire resistance to guard against monsters employing a wand of fire against you. Otherwise, be careful to leave enough room so that your own bolts of fire do not bounce from a wall back at you.
A wand of fire's most popular use is to burn Elbereth into the ground. A wand of fire's Elbereth will never degrade, and only the player can remove the engraving (by making it disappear with a wand of cancellation, make invisible, or cold).
