Are wands supposed to suck?

[Moleman]

I have a Level 22 FoMarl, and, among other weapons, she uses a wand. It only increases tech damage by one. Is it supposed to be that useless?

Basic weapons do not have spell bonuses. In the case of wand-class weapons they merely increase MST a little bit, which usually effects spell damage by a point or few. Nothing particularly useful. If you're looking for actual spell bonuses you're going to have to find some specific special weapons. Here's a few examples...

Club of Laconium, 30% damage bonus to Foie
Mace of Adaman, 30% damage bonus to Barta
Club of Zumiuran, 30% damage bonus to Zonde
Fire Scepter:Agni, 20% damage bonus to Foie, Gifoie, and Rafoie
Ice Staff:Dagon, 20% damage bonus to Barta, Gibarta, and Rabarta
Storm Wand:Indra, 20% damage bonus to Zonde, Gizonde, and Razonde
Caduceus, 30% damage bonus to Grants
Summit Moon, 30% damage bonus to Foie, Barta, and Zonde
Twinkle Star, 30% damage bonus to Foie, Barta, and Zonde
Magical Piece, 30% damage bonus to Gifoie, Gibarta, and Gizonde
Sorcerer's Cane, 30% damage bonus to Gifoie, Gibarta, and Gizonde
Psycho Wand, 30% damage bonus to Rafoie, Rabarta, and Razonde

There's even more than what I've listed. These are merely the one's I'm most familiar with.
