It can hold at most 15 charges.<br /> <br /> == Monster use ==<br /> As with any other wand, the bolt of cold projected by a wand of cold in the hands of a monster uses a power rating of (30 + (monster hit dice)). This gives it a typical damage output of 3d11 when used by low-level monsters and 3d12 when used by mid-to-high level monsters, and the player needs EV 19 to have a 50% chance of evading the beam without Repel or Deflect Missiles in force.<br /> <br /> == Tips and tricks ==<br /> As a tier-1 attack wand, wands of cold provide a powerful backup attack.<br /> <br /> Melee characters should save them for non-cold-resistant opponents that are unusually dangerous to engage in melee, such as hydras, acidic monsters, and (at low levels) things like wraiths and wights.<br /> <br /> Fire Magic users should use them as a backup or alternate attack against dangerous opponents that resist fire.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Wands of cold were removed in [[0.18]].</div>
