To find this item, the player must first go to the Decrepit Village in the Underdark section of Act 1. Once there, they must head to the coordinates X:56 Y:-183. The player will find three charred corpses, two duergars and one gnome, next to what looks like a caved-in mine shaft.

This item is a wonderful environmental storytelling device showing the last act of desperation by one of the enslaved gnomes, and also a fun way to blow a member of the party up. The player can also add a little world-building to the scenario. Was the wand originally unbroken and only broken after the attempt to blast away the captors? Was it already broken, and the gnome knew it had a chance to misfire?
The wand is exciting, as it’s the only one in In 5e, wands are magical items with a certain number of spell charges. For instance, if a non-broken wand of is found, the player can take a short rest to attune to the item. They can then cast a fireball as an action, without using a spell slot, a predetermined number of times.
