I think you would not have that much fun with that toy as the goody olde
"Detect Enemy" always has the backfire value.
That is if you do not say that the "Detect Enemy" works only for the wand,
that would not be that fruitfull. After all who has a harmfull attitude
towards an elaborate stick? And guess what, I think it would work that way,
but I am maybe wrong, see further down.

Problem here could be the Line of sight rule. Any detect spells can detect
the object/person it is designed for on a given basis. This includes
through solid objects. That means blocking the line of sight. Even further
what is if you have that wand and have it under your duster? Is that
covered in the rules? I have not yet taken a closer look regarding
Anchoring, maybe I should take me some time for it after all.
