To effectively use a rod, staff, or wand, one must know the command word associated with it. This knowledge can be acquired through observing opponents, coercing information, or consulting hidden records. If these methods fail, spells like contact other plane, legend lore, or speak with dead may be employed to uncover the necessary command words.
