지팡이는 쏘거나 새길 수 있는 제한된 사용 횟수의 마법 도구입니다. 모든 캐릭터는 지팡이를 쏠 수 있지만, 모든 지팡이에는 정해진 충전 횟수가 있습니다. 충전 횟수가 전부 소모되었다면, 지팡이는 아무것도 하지 않거나 1⁄121의 확률로 한번 더 작동한 후 먼지로 변할 것입니다 – 이는 지팡이에서 마지막 횟수를 쥐어짜낸다는 뜻으로 "레슬링"이라 알려져 있습니다. 또한, 지팡이는 충전될 수 있습니다.
일단 지팡이가 식별되고 나면, 괄호 안에 '재충전된 횟수&nbsp;: 현재 충전 횟수'로 추가적인 정보가 표시됩니다. 현재 충전 횟수가 -1로 표기되는 것은 지팡이가 차단당했음을 의미합니다.
상아 
지팡이의 효과는 식별되기 전에 알 수 없습니다: 이것들은 "상아 지팡이"처럼 서술로만 나타납니다.(§&nbsp;외형을 참고하십시오)
모든 지팡이는 7의 무게를 가집니다.
(번개의 지팡이를 제외한) 지팡이들은 전기 피해에 노출됐을 때 1⁄3의 확률로 폭발할 확률이 있습니다. [1]

The appearance of a wand also affects its susceptibility to erosion, which is largely cosmetic and has no implications on its functioning. (Erode-proof wands are very rare but can be wished for.) Iron, steel, hexagonal, short, runed, long, curved, spiked, and jeweled wands can rust or corrode; copper ones corrode; and wooden wands (oak, balsa, ebony, maple, pine, and forked) might also erode with fire and/or rot, but this has not yet been verified.

Direction, beams, and rays
The type of wand denotes the behavior when it is zapped. Non-directional wands do not ask for a direction. Beam wands ask for a direction, but do not show a visibly animated effect when zapped. Ray wands produce a ray that is animated on the screen; if you are unblind when you zap the wand, you will also identify that type of wand. Rays may bounce off walls or be reflected.
If a ray hits a wall orthogonally or at an internal corner it will bounce straight back. If it hits a wall diagonally or an external corner, there is a 5% chance it will bounce straight back, otherwise it will change direction 90 degrees, with equal chances of being deflected left or right. Note that on diagonal wall bounces, the ray actually penetrates the wall one square, possibly hitting any phasing monsters in the wall.[3]
Note that a directional wand (or spell) may affect not only the first object or creature it hits, but several others behind it. An example of this is healing your pet and a few hostile monsters as well—or zapping not only your pet with a wand of speed monster, but also a shopkeeper, angering him.

Range
The range of a beam wand is 6 to 13 squares.[4] For each monster hit, range decreases 3.[5] For each square in which objects are affected, range decreases 1.[6] Beams don't bounce and can't be reflected.
The range of a ray wand is 7 to 13 squares.[7] For each monster hit, range decreases 2.[8] If fire passes over water or a fountain, or cold passes over water or lava, the ray may stop entirely or have its range decreased 1 or 3. If fire passes over scrolls or spellbooks, some may burn, but range isn't decreased.[9] Each time it bounces off a wall, range decreases by 1.[10] Reflection off a monster or you reverses the direction of travel, but range doesn't decrease.[11]

명중과 빗나감
Most beam wands always hit, 몬스터는 저항할 수 있습니다.[12][13]
When engulfed by a monster, non-digging ray wands[14] and wands of striking will always hit. Otherwise, the chance of hitting depends on the target's AC.
A wand of striking never hits targets with an AC of −9 or lower, always hits targets with an AC of 11 or higher, and for intermediate AC values has a (9 + AC) in 20 chance of hitting.[15][16][17]
Both against you and against monsters, the odds of hitting with a ray wand is exclusively determined by armor class.[18]
The table below shows the chance of a monster or player being hit by a ray from a wand (not accounting for possible rebounds).

 Graph of wand and spell hitting probabilities given various target ACs and spell_bonus values
Because the chance of spells hitting is affected by the player's Dexterity and skill level in the appropriate spell school, one may choose to attack a monster using a spell instead of the corresponding wand: for example, against Master Kaen wearing a +0 robe, a monk with 23 Dexterity who has reached Basic in Enchantment spells will hit with the sleep spell 86.25% of the time, whereas a wand of sleep only hits 47.5% of the time.

공격 지팡이 피해
공격 지팡이에 의한 피해를 계산하기 위해, 먼저 베이스 피해를 계산합니다:

2d12 for striking[19]
magic missile 2d6[20][21]
fire, cold, and lightning 6d6[22][23][24][21]
If the wand is a wand of fire and the target is cold resistant, 7 additional points of damage are added.[25]
If the wand is a wand of cold and the target is fire resistant, 6d3 additional points of damage are added.[26][21]
화염, 냉기, 그리고 전격 저항 몬스터는 각각 화염, 냉기, 그리고 전격으로 부터 피해를 받지 않을 것입니다.[27][28][29] Monsters with player-style magic resistance will take no damage from striking and magic missile.[30][31] All monsters have a chance, based on their level and monster magic resistance, of resisting and taking half damage.[32]
공격 지팡이는 (other than striking and magic missile) 또한 인벤토리 아이템을 파괴할 수 있습니다:

화염은 화염에 탈 수 있는 갑옷을 손상시키고 두루마리, 물약, 마법책을 파괴할 수 있습니다.[33]
냉기는 물약을 파괴할수 있습니다.[34]
전격은 반지와 지팡이를 파괴할수 있습니다.[35]
지팡이 사용
You may zap or Engrave with a wand. That consumes one charge each time. Covered below, apply destroys wands.
Zapping a wand with zero charges left usually yields "Nothing happens". But with a 1 in 121 chance, it instead wrests one last zap and then turns the wand to dust.[36] A cancelled wand is shown as "-1" charges and will always turn to dust ineffectively if you use it.
Cursed wands have a 1% chance of exploding if zapped [37] but they otherwise function as normal. Since NetHack 3.6.0, cursed wands may also explode when used to engrave.[38]
Engraving with a wand is a good way to work out its identity. Also, engraving with a wand of fire or lightning is the only way to make truly permanent writing. E.g. an Elbereth that cannot degrade. How many characters you engrave determines how many turns it takes, but it always costs one charge.
You can zap or break with a wand without free hands, e.g. when wielding a cursed two-handed weapon; engraving requires hands.

The following information pertains to an upcoming version (NetHack 3.7.0). If this version is now released, please verify that it is still accurate, then update the page to incorporate this information.

Though this is still true, you can no longer zap a wand if polymorphed into a form that lacks hands. You cannot apply anything, including wands, in this situation either.
지팡이 재충전
Main article: Charging#Wands
Wands may be recharged by scrolls of charging or by the Platinum Yendorian Express Card. Previously-recharged wands have a chance of exploding (up to a maximum of 100% for a 7:x wand or a 1:x wand of wishing).
A cursed scroll will not change the number of charges in a blessed wand or a wand with no charges; otherwise, "Your 

<wand> vibrates briefly" and its charges is set to zero. An uncursed scroll will bring the number of charges to a random number from 1 to a random number between 5 and the maximum charges shown above (or for a wand of wishing a random number from 1 to 3); a blessed scroll will bring the number of charges in the wand to a random number from 5 to the maximum charges shown above, or for a wand of wishing to three charges. If it already has that number of charges, it gains one more charge. A wand of wishing charged beyond three charges will explode. "Your <wand> <glows vibrates=""> briefly" if the new enchantment is below the maximum; "Your <wand> <glows blue="" vibrates=""> for a moment" otherwise.
취소된 지팡이는 빈 지팡이와 같은 방식으로 충전될 수 있습니다. 그것은 사실상 지팡이의 취소를 해제합니다.

지팡이 부수기
You can destroy a wand by applying it. You will be prompted for confirmation, and you must have hands and a strength of at least 10. Wands with no charges and some wands listed below have no effect ("But nothing else happens..."). Breaking a wand with no charges may wrest a charge from it, in which case it will act like a wand with one charge.
많은 지팡이는 부숴졌을때 폭발을 생성할 것입니다. The explosion causes damage to yourself and any monsters that were in the adjacent squares when you broke the wand. This damage can be reduced or eliminated if you (or the monster) has an appropriate resistance. Damage is also reduced to half for Healers and Knights and to 1⁄5 for Monks, Priests and Wizards. Further effects can occur as if you had zapped yourself with the wand. The explosion can also affect objects in your inventory, on your square, and on adjacent squares, and affect locations as if they were zapped. 마지막으로, 어떤 종류의 지팡이는 당신이 그 지팡이를 식별하도록 만드는 폭발을 가지고 있습니다.

완드를 감정하는 가장 쉽고 안전한 방법은 완드로 새겨보는 것입니다. To do so, first write something in the dust with your fingers ("Elbereth" is a good safe default choice that exercises Wisdom to boot; illiterate characters can use "x"), 그리고 지팡이로 다른 것을 새기면 됩니다. 지팡이가 무엇인지 힌트를 주는 메시지나 효과를 얻을 수 있습니다.

잠금개방탐지언데드 변환없음비밀문 탐지 (self-identifies if secrets are detected) wand is cancelled (x:-1)

Create monster, enlightenment, light, and wishing perform their usual effect and self-identify when engraved with. Wands of secret door detection self-identify if they find anything; otherwise, no effect or message.
This technique can be dangerous with wands of create monster and lightning, summoning a monster or making you blind, thus overwriting your existing engraving with "Elbereth" can be helpful. Lightning will burn it into the floor making a permanent Elbereth square to wait out your blindness. Alternatively, you can abort at the prompt what text to engrave, and you won't get blinded.
Also, be careful concerning the identical message for wands of make invisible, teleportation, and cancellation; you don't want to end up teleporting yourself or cancelling a pet by accident. The safest way to find out the exact identity is using the wand on a non-blank scroll or non-clear potion you neither need nor care if a monster picks it up (for example, scroll of light). If nothing happens, it's make invisible; if the item disappears, it's teleport; if the item blanks/clears (or turns into fruit juice if you're using potion of sickness), it's cancellation.
To identify a wand that gives no message, zap it at a line containing the following easy-to-acquire objects:

a doorway without a door (eg. one with the door kicked out)
a locked container (chest or large box)
a corpse
If a door is created in the doorway, it's locking. If the container unlocks, it's opening. If the contents of the container are revealed, it's probing,. If the corpse revives, it's undead turning. If it doesn't ask for a direction, it's secret door detection or nothing.

Identification by zapping
A good way to determine the identity of a wand that makes engravings vanish—at the cost of using a second charge—is to do this: line up an item and a monster and zap them. If they both vanish it was teleportation, if the monster vanishes it was make invisible, and if neither vanishes it was cancellation. You can also place a junk scroll on the ground and zap it. If it disappears, the wand is teleportation. If the scroll is blanked, the wand is cancellation. If nothing happens, it's make invisible. This technique doesn't result in an invisible monster.
Many wands will self-identify on zapping. A single zap under the right circumstances can identify nearly all of these: stand in a room where you know there is an undetected trap or door (messages such as Vlad was here or ad aerarium indicate such a door), and another door that is closed but unlocked. Drop an object that can be recognizably cancelled (such as a junk scroll) on a diagonal to the door (to prevent dangerous beams from hitting you), and lure a visible undead monster onto the same diagonal line. Zap toward the object, monster, and door. If both object and monster vanish, the wand is teleportation; if the monster vanishes and the object doesn't, it is make invisible; if the scroll is blank, it was cancellation; if the door opens, it was opening; if the door is now locked, it was locking; if the monster flees, it was turn undead; if the hidden door appears, it was secret door detection. If nothing happens, it was a wand of digging or of nothing, or it was empty of charges. If it was any other kind of wand, it will self-identify.

가격-감정
Almost any class of items can be price-identified, but there are two groups of wands for which this is exceptionally useful. Wands of wishing and wands of death are covered in the price identification article; both have base cost 500. In addition, the four wands with base cost 175 are all very useful in the early or middle game. Wands of cold, fire, and lightning provide a powerful ranged attack. Wands of fire and lightning offer an instant method of engraving Elbereth. Freezing water with a wand of cold is one way to cross it or to deal with sea monsters and their dreaded instakill. And wands of sleep are great all the time.

전략
Main article: Wand strategy
폴리파일링
Main article: Polypiling
Non-directional wands come with lots of charges, which are preserved on polymorph. Polypile them if you lack powerful offense, teleportation, or cancellation wands.
Wands are quirky when polymorphed; unlike many other objects, where the greatest risk is sundering and golem generation, their quality will quickly degrade. The most useful wands are wishing (to wish for a wand of death), death (to clear a five-lane highway to the Castle's wand of wishing), polymorph, digging, secret door detection, cold, and teleportation. Most others, by the time the player has a means to polymorph objects, have long since become useless. The two most useful—wishing and polymorph—will never appear in polymorphs, so don't try.
By the time the player seriously considers polypiling, they'll have all the wands of teleportation they're likely to need. The same goes for digging—and additionally, a pick-axe can work in a pinch for a slower means of clearing a pre-amulet fast-track to the Plane of Earth. For many players, secret door detection has one use and one use only—getting through Gehennom and Moloch's Sanctum fire traps that much faster. And there, they may instead opt to carry the Bell of Opening just a few steps further to serve this purpose. Wands of cold are useful for freezing moats and lava, but even there a player is likely to greatly prefer a ring of levitation.

변종
에이스핵
In AceHack, engraving will formally identify the wand if that gives an unambiguous message (e.g. cold or speed monster).

슬래시엠
In SLASH'EM, cursed wands explode 20% of the time (not just 1%) when zapped, but never explode when engraved with. Curse-test your wand of wishing! Also, exploding wands in SLASH'EM are much more dangerous to anyone caught in the explosion: many wands have their standard effects (cancellation, death etc.) on whoever is inside the explosion's radius. Most attack wands also cause a high amount of elemental damage upon exploding, capable of instakilling a low-level character.
SLASH'EM wands, other than the wand of wishing, generally have 4 more charges than a vanilla NetHack wand would have: [39]

Notes

"The engraving on the <floor> vanishes!"

draining (if engraving was short)

Given when short engraving is erased; no message if no existing engraving

"The engraving looks different now.

draining

For longer existing engravings; message is shared with polymorph, but wand erodes engraving instead of changing it

"The bugs on the floor run away!"

Wand does not self-identify, but message is unambiguous

"The bugs on the floor look healthier!"

healing/extra healing

Zapping yourself with the wand will then cause it to self-identify.

A wand of create horde will have its usual effect when zapped. This can be dangerous to weaker characters, so having an escape item ready may be a good idea. Wands of create horde are quite rare, however.

슬래시엠 익스텐디드
There are additional wands in Slash'EM Extended. Some of them automatically identify when engraved with, others will give a message:

Message/effect

Possible wand

Notes

"The bugs on the <floor> seem to be covered with goo!"

acid

Wand does not self-identify, but message is unambiguous

"The bugs on the floor are blown away!"

wind (also exists in SporkHack)

Wand does not self-identify, but message is unambiguous

"The engraving on the <floor> shines brightly for a moment!"

solar beam

Wand does not self-identify, but message is unambiguous

"The bugs on the <floor> speed up!"

haste monster

This message is shared by the wand of speed monster. Zap it at yourself to see which one it is: speed monster permanently gives you the "fast" intrinsic, haste monster makes you "very fast" for a period of time.

"The bugs on the <floor> look healthier!"

full healing

This message is shared by the wands of healing and extra healing. Zap it at yourself or a monster for a less ambiguous message.

"The engraving is blurred, and you think you can see it twice!"

clone monster

Only appears if there was an existing engraving. There is no other wand that gives this message; the text of the actual engraving doesn't get cloned though.

"The engraving on the <floor> vanishes!"

banishment

Only appears if there was an existing engraving and you're not standing on a headstone. This message is shared by the wands of cancellation, make invisible and teleportation; the wand of draining may give the same message if it was used on a very short engraving. Zapping it at an item or monster may help to figure out which one it is; zapping yourself can be very dangerous.

"You summon some undead creatures!"

summon undead

You identify the wand, and some hostile undead creatures are summoned around you to fight.

"You feel entrapped."

entrapping

"You grasp some bits from the current map!"

You identify the wand, and parts of the current level map are filled in.

"You are surrounded by darkness!"

darkness

You identify the wand, and the area surrounding you becomes unlit.

"You feel endangered!!"

No message

detect monsters

"You detect the presence of objects."

You identify the wand, and detect objects on the current level.

"You feel insightful!"

"You feel someone is punishing you for your misbehavior!"

punishment

You identify the wand, and are chained to a heavy iron ball, or if you are already punished, the ball gets heavier.

"The bugs on the floor are clearly visible!"

make visible

Wand does not self-identify, but message is unambiguous

No message

bugging

You identify the wand, and some bugs and heisenbugs are summoned around you to fight.

No message

wonder

This wand does not autoidentify upon engraving with it, and there is no clue as to what it does. However, zapping a wand of wonder will identify it. Beware, zapping this wand may have some negative effects like surrounding you with monsters or chaining you to a heavy iron ball!

언넷핵

Encyclopedia entry

'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority.
'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed.  I am
Gandalf the White, who has returned from death.  You have no
colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council.'
He raised his hand, and spoke slowly in a clear cold voice.
'Saruman, your staff is broken.'  There was a crack, and the
staff split asunder in Saruman's hand, and the head of it
fell down at Gandalf's feet.  'Go!' said Gandalf. With a cry
Saruman fell back and crawled away.
