    Wand of paralyzing. Just tell them that. Then, when they get to use it, they find out that the wand actually just paralyzes itself and just floats in the air doing nothing. DM got me good there just as I had to perform a spell on a guard. Had to aggressively improvise afterwards.

      Be careful in a more realistic setting, where the rod stays fixed in place (in its own reference frame) while the earth, the solar system and the galaxy all keep moving at thousands of km per second.
