Special Abilities

Susceptible To Dispel Magic (Ex) Using dispel magic, mage's disjunction or similar effect on a wandstorm renders the wandstorm staggered for a number of rounds equal to spell level of the effect.

Swarm Attack (Su) Wandstorm's swarm attack damage type combines bursts of acid, cold, electricity, fire, force, and sonic and is treated as the most effective damage type against each individual target.

Unwanted Wonders (Su) Any creature damaged by wandstorm's swarm attack has to make a Will saving throw (DC 17) or is affected by a random effect rolled on rod of wonder table. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

A chaotic and unpredictable amalgamation of discarded and damaged wands, their magic wildly synchronized with each other, amplifying and distorting their effects beyond what a common wand could do.

Wandstorms form when a significant magical accident or discharge happens nearby too many wands or their fragments accumulate in single place, even when they contain no charges of their own. Magical battlefields, arcane junkyards, fallen treasures, wizardly universities, they all might contain enough leftover wands and lingering magic to produce a wandstorm or two.
