You could just initially walk up to the thief with one person to avoid the problem of having your entire party in the danger zone. Preferably Imoen, as she can take the backstabs with ease with Stoneskins on, and it would also make sense to send the only character with some rogueish qualities forth to scout. She could realistically see the wand and recognize the type as soon as the thief became visible, and immediately start running for her life. The thieves always wait with their wands half a second or so after becoming visible, which is all you need to gain that three feet lead on the cone, if it turns out to be a Wand of Frost. It would be wise to start running the hell out of there no matter what kind of wand it turns out to be though.
