[Midget Gems]

In my latest game I have reached the point (in Chapter 3) where I found the Wand of Monster Summoning. I didn't have to do anything too difficult, this powerful weapon is just hidden in a cave (as I'm sure you all know). The point is I don't deserve to have it at this stage of the game, what I really need is the Ring of Wizardry (which I can only get this early by cheating). Most of the time the Game keeps things in perspective but the wand mentioned above bugs me, its so contrived.

Then later in the game there are wands available at every turn, you just pop along to the local shop to get as many as you want. I would have thought it would be better if they were only awarded as a result of completeing a difficult task - preferably one with a magic theme, for example at the top of Ramazith's Tower. So what do you think, are Wands too easy to get and does this make the game too easy ? This is just magic on the cheap, do the job properly and get your Mage to learn the spells.
