Wand of Magic Detection: This wand is similar in operation to the enemy detection wand. If any form of magic is in operation, or a magical item exists within a 30-foot radius, the magic detection wand will pulse and point to the strongest source. Note that it will point to a person upon whom a spell has been cast.

Operation requires one round, and successive rounds will point out successively less powerful magical radiation. The school of magic (abjuration, alteration, etc.) can be determined if one round is spent concentrating on the subject emanation. One charge is expended per turn (or fraction thereof) of use. Starting with the second round of continuous use, there is a 2% cumulative chance per round that the wand will temporarily malfunction and indicate nonmagical items as magical, or vice-versa. The wand may be recharged.
