Ill Omen is a great wand if you can make the UMD check.

When you can use Ill Omen with a readied action it cannot be removed with a Move Action before inconveniencing an opponent. Forcing a reroll and forcing the lower result to be used can be especially helpful versus nasty special attacks (like a dog's bite/trip attack at low level) as well as defensive casting.

Be warned though that while Ill Omen is a curse spell it's also a mind affecting spell.


If your character will be venerating Milani and using Good Hope cast from memory (3rd level bard spell allowed to Milani's clergy) or the Beacon of Hope feat (Milani only, requires 3d6 channel) then Moment of Greatness is a great wand.

Moment of Greatness will give each member of your party an additional +3 Morale bonus modifier on a roll (if they are under Good Hope) or additional +2 modifier (if they affacted by the Beacon of Hope feat) per wand charge. I've generally seen it most helpful for Saving Throws, critical confirmation rolls and combat maneuvers.

Based purely on the gold piece price and not prestige cost if you will not be using a spell at least 30 times in your career it is more cost effective to get scrolls. Things like Blessing of the Watch and Ant Haul are AMAZING on a level 1 scroll. Scrolls with a single spell also have better action economy since they never need to be put away after activation.
