Summary 0000768: Rename "wand of healing" to "wand of heal wounds"
Description For consistency with potion names and effects. Wand of healing seems to act just like a potion of heal wounds. It does not cure poison, rotting, or confusion like a potion of healing.

Alternatively the wand could be changed to behave like potion of healing or a combination healing & heal wounds.

"Wand of heal wounds" doesn't really sound good (but then neither does "potion of heal wounds".

Adding "potion of healing" effect is not an option I think, given the wand is already overpowered.

heal wounds -> healing, healing -> cure ailments?

Shrug. healing/heal wounds may be too ingrained to comfortably change, but something like that might be a possibility.

I like the idea of naming the wand like the correct potion. If we think that Wand of Heal Wounds sounds odd (I wouldn't know), there are some alternatives:

wand of healing wounds

s/healing/curing/ (potion), s/heal woundshealing/ (potion and wand)

I don't think "cure ailments" is any better than "heal wounds" - I like changing "heal wounds" to "healing" and "healing" to plain "curing." People would be confused for a week, sure, but it'd make better sense and they'd get over it.

"Heal wounds" doesn't really sound odd in itself, but using it and "healing" for two different effects is pretty strange. One would expect "healing" to heal wounds - "curing," though, sounds like what it does.

This has been changed (alongside healing -> curing).
