The wand of wonder, added in SlashTHEM, has a randomized effect when zapped.
Each time you zap a wand of wonder, one of the following events may occur, each with a 1/21 probability:
| 1 | The surrounding area is illuminated, as with a wand of light. |
| 2 | Undiscovered secret doors, mimics, and traps in the player's vicinity are revealed, as with a wand of secret door detection. |
| 3 | A monster is created, as with a wand of create monster. There is a 1/23 chance of creating 2-8 monsters. |
| 4 | 6-12 monsters are generated, as with a wand of create horde. |
| 5 | "Multicolored sparks fly from the wand." There is a 0.1% chance that this will grant a wish. |
| 6 | "You feel self-knowledgeable..." Grants enlightenment, as with a wand of enlightenment. This exercises wisdom. |
| 7 | You detect monsters for 11-30 turns and exercise wisdom. If you already had 300+ turns of monster detection, the wand only adds 10 turns. |
| 8 | You detect objects on the level. This exercises wisdom. |
| 9 | You detect traps on the level. This exercises wisdom. |
| 10 | "You feel insightful!" You get to identify 1-5 items. This exercises wisdom. |
| 11 | "You feel like someone is helping you!" Each cursed item in your pack has a 20% chance of being uncursed. |
| 12 | "You feel someone is punishing you for your misbehavior!" You are punished, as with a wand of punishment. |
There is also a 9 in 21 chance of the wand having no effect. ("Nothing happens.")
Every time a wand of wonder is zapped, there is a 1% chance that it will explode, abusing strength.

SpliceHack brought in the wand of wonder with a different implementation than SlashTHEM. Instead of a preset list of effects, it draws on every wand available in the game. Whenever a player engraves or zaps a wand of wonder, they get a random wand's effect with a few caveats:
- If the effect is a wand of wishing: There is a 99/100 chance the effect is switched to a wand of poison gas, otherwise you get a wish.[1]
- If the effect is a wand of wonder: The effect is switched to wand of polymorph.
- If the effect is a wand of nothing: The effect is switched to wand of death.
Otherwise, the effect is processed as normal - all wand types -- beam, ray, or omni -- are valid.
The wand of wonder also stands out as having the most possible charges of any wand, it can generate with 15-24 charges![2]
Aside from it's rare generation, it can be reliably found in junk shops in both variants.
Messages
- You have found a wand of wonder!
- You engraved or zapped a wand of wonder.
Origin
The wand of wonder originally appeared in NetHack: The Next Generation. It was inspired by a similar item in the roguelike Angband, which had a random effect whenever zapped, drawn from the effects of any other wand in that game.
