I was wondering, can you use a rod (blue one that should just use mana and not charges) without the skill wizardy or a talisman? o.O

[Kaiser2]

Yes, using it counts as using the skill "Use magic item" not wizardry.

[axman36]

really, every time I used a rod, it say preparing wizadry

[Kaiser2]

Readied skill: use magic item
You ready rod of large bullet (lvl 2)(readied)

When I blast something with the rod's imbued spell, it doesn't switch it to wizardry. I don't see where you're getting this info, axman.

Yeah, you can't use other spells with it, but you can use the spell it comes with for a few times, then you need to wait a little bit for the energy to come back.
