Wand of Enemy Detection

This wand detects creatures hostile to the wielder.

Detect Enemy. [innate] When the wielder holds the wand and briefly concentrates (as a minor action), the wand directs the wielder's hand holding it to point in the direction of the nearest creature that has a hostile intent toward the wielder. "Hostile intent" can be broadly interpreted to mean that the creature is or intends to work actively to bring about harm to the wielder. The wand can detect an additional creature (of like attitude) within range each round beginning with the next nearest creature. Even creatures disguised, hidden, or invisible can be pinpointed (but not seen) unless the emanation cannot reach them due to physical obstructions. Any such creatures nearby that are ethereal or even astral can be pinpointed (but not seen). Polymorph effects will not fool the wielder. While curses or charms are not detectable, any allies that are cursed/charmed and have a current and/or ongoing hostile intent toward the wielder will be detected. Each use grants 10 rounds of detection (as long as a minor action is used each round to mantain detection) and uses 1 charge.

Limitations

• The emanation is immobile but the wielder can move around within the area of effect once a charge is used.

• If a minor action is not used each round (as an innate ability), the effect ends at the end of the round.

• Creatures acting in their own self interest and viewing the wielder neutrally will not be detected. Note. A creature acting as a spy or informant (tasked to perform these activities against or specifically including the wielder) is considered to be working actively against the wielder.

• Creatures only intent on harming the wielder's associates will not be detected.

• While using a minor action to maintain the detection power, the wielder cannot cast spells, invocations, or use spell-like abilities.

• Creatures with magic resistance will gain a resistance roll against the emanation, and if this is successful, they will not register as a creature with hostile intent.

• Charges. Wands of this type will have 1d100 charges when found. The wand can be recharged by using an enchant an item ritual.
