Adventurer
On the point of using the wand un-attuned, certainly it can be. The 7 charges of the wand can be used by anyone holding it.
The description seems to have two valid interpretations:
1. If you hold it, you get some powers; if you attune, you get others.
2. You have to attune to it because in subtitle it says "requires attunement" and the charge issue refers to certain beings if they are attuned.
I'm on the fence, see it both ways.
I'd love for others to weigh in.
