## About The Pull Request  This PR adds 16 more wands to the game, try and guess what they all do! I finished coding this PR 6 weeks ago but it turns out I had to sprite 16 wands after that before I could PR it. <details> **Wand of Animation**- It's like the Staff of Animation but doesn't recharge itself, obviously. **Rod of Babel**- Grants victims a new random spoken language and then removes all of their other languages. **Shearing Rod**- It renders you bald. If you are covering your hair with a helmet, it pops the helmet off (possibly its most useful effect). If you're already bald, your bald head will shine brightly and blind nearby people. **Party Wand**- Fires projectiles that are incredibly alcoholic. Two of them will destroy the livers of most targets and kill them (although it gives them a good leadup time to get that fixed before dying of alcohol toxicity), so try one at a time if you're just there to have fun. **Wand of Ice**- Freezes people temporarily, making them really cold and unable to move. It also spawns slippery ice on impacted tiles. **Wand of Chaos**- Forces targets to hallucinate from a curated list of hallucinations. It looks and is named sort of like the Staff of Chaos just in the hopes that people are more likely to believe that the wizard did actually just instantly kill them, set them on fire, or turn them into a demon. Even if it doesn't, a lot of these cause you to stop moving or be temporarily knocked down or in some other way disoriented. **Lifting Rod**- Removes gravity from a target for two minutes, which funcionally immobilises them if they're in the middle of a room or you can use on yourself to cross big pits. **Rod of Compassion**- Heals you and your target a little bit, and also gives you both Pacifism for 30 seconds. This gives you time to talk out your problems, or deliver a monologue. **Wand of Snacking**- Turns things into pizza. If fired at a mob, will put some pizza in their hands and force them to start eating it. Unlikely to be deadly, but it might spawn mouldy pizza, a food they are allergic to, ethereal battery acid pizza, or pizza which dismembers you. **Pestilent Wand**- Confers a transmissible plague which causes you to periodically cough out vermin of various degrees of danger and hostility depending on disease level, treated via traditional methods of exorcism. **Wand of Pratfalls**- Slips and pies the target as well as creating small amounts of lube foam. **Wand of Rebellion**- Removes a limb from the target, then animates that limb. Stop hitting yourself. **Rod of Repulsion**- Throws things you shoot away from you. **Switching Rod**- Swap places with the hit atom, as with the spell Swap. **Restraining Rod**- Summons a tentacle from the ground to grasp the target, immobilising them for 20 seconds or until someone helps them. **Wand of Zapping**- Briefly locks up the target's nerves with lightning (it's secretly a classic ss13 taser). </details> They are available to wizards via the new option "Wand Assortment (Bargain Bin)" which only costs a single spellbook point, but gives you an assortment of 6 wands picked at random from this list of new wands and some of the existing ones. If you buy two or more sets of wands (and are wearing the wand belt from the first one) then instead of spawning wands in a belt it will spawn them in a bandolier, which fits into your backpack or can be worn on a suit slot. Wand bandoliers in a suit slot will automatically replace an empty wand you try to fire with a wand that still has ammo in it. Several of these wands' projectiles are now also possibilities from firing the Staff of Chaos (making it more chaotic) and some of them also have their own Magicarp types. Also I made it so that if you animate an animating weapon then it focuses on animating more things instead of shooting its animating bolts at mobs that are already animate. I could do this for more specialty wands too at some point (door wand projectiles don't exactly hurt anyone) but if I do that it'll probably be in a different PR. ## Why It's Good For The Game A good number of these wands come from a downstream antagonist that's essentially a lower-threat wizard. I thought these were all fun or funny effects to have in the game upstream but also not ones that people would typically want to buy as a dedicated spell (or alternately, that would be pretty good as a dedicated spell but quite boring), so instead they're limited use spells that you get in bulk for cheap. I didn't think we'd really want to bulk up the spellbook with several different kinds of themed bundle though (and frankly, they don't share themes), so it's a blind box instead. The bandolier was added to compensate people for buying random wands multiple times, so they can have more of a wand-based playstyle. Now you can spend all of your points on 60 wands (maybe more if you take the gambling trait...) and be a sort of wizard cowboy, or split them among your apprentices, or just leave them everywhere like candy and see whether the crew fuck things up for themselves with their new power I guess. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Adds 16 more wizard wands to the game, which wizards can buy cheaply but randomly, or are available via Summon Magic. add: If a wizard buys more than one set of wands they will receive a "Wand Bandolier" holster which fits in the backpack or, if worn in the suit slot, will automatically exchange an expended wand for a full one. balance: Staffs (and wands) of animation that are animated will try to animate other objects instead of firing at living mobs, which are already animated. balance: Animating a wand of nothing will turn it into a wand of animation (and animate it). balance: The staff of chaos can now do more things. balance: Magicarp now additionally come in Babbling, Frigid, Quantum, and Weightless varieties. Collect them all! /🆑
