The wizard had a magic hat (a rip off of the wizard's hat from the D&D cartoon).  I used the wand of wonder for the effect.  The party encountered a group of orcs.  The fighter and ranger were up front, the rogue and cleric in the middle and the two magic users in the rear.  The magic user with the hat reached in and felt something like a marble.GM: What are you going to do with it?MU1: Throw it at the second rank of orcs.GM: Are you sure?MU1: YesGM: Ok.  (It happend to be a fireball.  Most of orcs died and the party was badly burned.)Rogue: Next time the GM ask you if you are sure, throw it far away.Same game same group.  The party was at a "T" intersection.  On the left short arm of the "T" was a door.  The rogue was at the door checking it out for traps and sounds.  The fighter and ranger were looking down the long part the the "T" and the two magic users were on the right short arm of the "T".Down the long corridor came another group of orcs. The fighter and ranger are holding off the orcs.  Then the second magic user decides to try out a wand she had just aquired. Using the command word engraved on the side of the wand, she points it at the orcs from what is now the second rank.  The wand of fear caught all the orcs in the cone as well as the fighter.  All of them go screaming back down the corridor.  The fighter just happened to be the map keeper as well as the party light source (shield had continual light).  Now the rest of the party is in the dark (0nly one had infravision) and lost.  Fortunately the fighter did not make it through the door at the end of the winding corridor and the party was able to make its way back together.</blockquote>
