Wand of paralyzation

A wand of paralyzation, also known as a wand of paralysis, was a magical wand capable of paralyzing opponents.

Description
When activated, a wand of paralyzation shot a beam of blue light at its target.

Powers
The user could expend a charge of the wand to paralyze opponents, before potentially crumbling to ash. The wand itself had seven charges, and when used, it would emit a blue ray out of its tip, towards a creature within 60' (18.3 m). The creature that was struck would be paralyzed for a minute.

At dawn, two to seven charges (the maximum amount) would be replenished.
