A wand of undead turning is a utility wand with two functions. Zapping an undead monster deals 1-8 points of damage and will cause the creature to flee from you. This damage is doubled if you are a Knight carrying the Magic Mirror of Merlin.
Alternatively, the wand can be used to unturn dead[1], reviving corpses and rejuvenating eggs, though limitations apply.
Identification
First try engrave testing. If no message or effect is generated, it's fairly safe to zap it at yourself - getting stunned while undead, having a corpse in your inventory reanimated, or getting the message "You shudder in dread" unambiguously identifies the wand as undead turning.
Strategy
- If a corpse is too old to eat or #offer, zapping it with a wand of undead turning then re-killing the monster will reset the rot timer. Note that the revived monster won't always leave a corpse unless it is size large or bigger - see corpse generation odds
- If your pet dies (in a manner that leaves a corpse), zapping it with the wand could bring it back to life - although be warned it might need to be re-tamed.
