* You can [[Verb:INVOKE|invoke]] scrolls that are held in reserve without penalty (the 100 penalty applied when trying to invoke whilst holding another item is not applied when invoking from reserve).
* Generally it is petter to put a wand in reserve and wave it from there versus holding it in your hand; for the vast majority of characters, an open hand will provide more [[DS|defense]] than a hand holding a wand.
