Wand-holding runestaff

A wand-holding runestaff is a scripted runestaff that can be affixed with a wand or other WAVE-able magic item so that WAVEing the runestaff activates the wand/item. The staff has an off-the-shelf version and can be unlocked twice additional zests. The wand mechanisms can become worn or broken but can repaired using FIX. If the mechanism breaks completely, a steel spring will be required to fix it, so it is recommended to FIX the mechanism when it is worn, but not completely broken.
