Wandbane

A minor version of the 3rd-level wizard spell dispel magic, the wandbane spell temporarily prevents the wielder of a rod, staff, or wand from using the item's powers. The wizard casts the spell upon a character in physical contact with a rod, staff, or wand. (If the character has more than one rod, the caster specifies the one the spell targets.) Should the spell recipient fail a saving throw, the device in question will not function for that character for 1d8 rounds.

Unlike dispel magic, the caster's experience level does not affect the spell's chance of success. Wandbane has no effect on other magical items.

Notes: Common in the Mystara setting; otherwise very rare.
