Class Requirement. Magic-user only.

The polymorphing wand emits a green beam, a thin ray which darts forth to a maximum distance of 6”. 

If this beam touches any creature, it must make its saving throw versus wands (success indicating a miss) or be polymorphed (others) as the spell of the same name (q.v.). 

The wand wielder may opt to form the victim into a snail, frog, insect, etc. as long as the result is a small and inoffensive creature. 

The possessor of the wand may elect to touch a creature with the device instead. When this is done (unwilling creatures must be hit and they are also entitled to a saving throw) the recipient is surrounded by dancing motes of sparkling emerald light, and then transforms into whatever creature-shape the wand wielder has stated. This is the same magical effect as the polymorph (self) spell (q.v.). 

Either function requires 3 segments. 

Each draws 1 charge. 

Only 1 function per round is possible. 

The wand may be recharged.
