A wand of light, when zapped or engraved with, lights an area with radius of 5, or the whole room if on the rogue level. Engraving with it immediately identifies it.

Generation

Wands comprise 4% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 6% in containers, 5% on the Rogue level, and 8% in hell. There is a 9.5% chance that a randomly-generated wand will be a wand of light, making it the most generated wand.

Strategy

The Wand of Light is a good target for polypiling, because it isn't all that useful outside of the early game, and is usually generated with a lot of charges.
