While re-reading the Grimoire I found that you can't aim or target an
anchored spell. I think it's in the second column of the first page.

This means that you cannot make a portable wand of fireballs. It seems
that anchoring can only be used with a non-targetted spell. That leaves
out most combat spells, except perhaps touch spells. I think that touch
spells would be fine, thing like healing and death touch. The only way to
make an offensive wandlike thingy would be to anchor a damaging
area-effect manipulation, and pointing the wand in the general direction.

Do anyone disagree, go home and read the book and please tell me I'm
wrong :)

Hasta la vista
Madman
