Spell Turning:
we used the rules for this ring as a basis for spell duels.
Wands And
Staves: these were used various ways in fantasy literature.
D&D chose to depict them as spell storage devices, a perfectly
reasonable interpretation. Much was left in these and miscellaneous
magic items with regard to charges. For example: what happens when
the charges run out? Can these items be recharged? If so, how and by
whom? Lots of room for customization to one’s home campaign are to
be had.
We once read a module
by an independent publisher likening a wand of fireballs with a single charge to a single-use disposable grenade
launcher. That author used several magic items to recreate the special
weapons of a SEAL strike team. We admired this approach and have used
it several times, that is, providing magic items that will give
adventurers a tactical edge for that adventure … should they be
recognized as such and used properly.
