     The Jester on one of his more unusual quests captured a Leprechaun and took his gold.  He forced the Leprechaun to teach him how to use the Wands of Wonder and choose what spell was cast forth.  He then released the Fey.
     Dragon #141: pg 38-40 “Note that, in the hands of a leprechaun (see wand IV, effect 85-87), a wand of wonder is very dangerous, as he is able to create any effect he so wishes upon command. This is also said to be true of jesters (see the Best of DRAGON® Magazine Anthology, Vol. IV).”
      Dragon #147 listed the four types of wands of wonder.

or large mouse (AC 7; MV 15”; HD ½; hp 1; #AT 1; Dmg 1; AL N) (51-100).
37-46: The wand fires a lightning bolt (7” X 1/2’) as per a wand of lightning.
