Wand of Disintigration (any)             9000          60,000

Wand of Disintigration:
     Range: 10"
          This wand is a 12 inch long, 1 inch diameter piece of stone
     carved with runes.  It does not use charges, but draws power from 
     its wielder.  Each use draws six levels of spells from its user if
     the user is of a spell using class, of course spells lost to the
     wand can be re-memorized.  If the user is a non-spell using class
     then the wand takes six life levels.  For example, if a magic user
     employed the wand but had only 3 spell levels memorized, he would
     lose those spells and lose 3 life levels.  Life levels lost to the
     wand are lost permanently and can only be recovered by working your
     way back up by gaining experience.
          The wand can attack one creature or 1" cubic area of non-living
     matter per shot, and acts just as the sixth level magic user spell
     disintigrate.  Operation takes one segment.  No command words are
     neccessary, the user simply wills the wand to operate.

     Level Recommendation:
          Greater than sixth, if you want them to survive any experimentation
     they may do with it.
