Just what influences them? They're a weapon, but enemies can resist the damage as if it were a spell. More importantly, though, I've scored critical hits with wands. The decision of whether it's a spell or attack would - in my mind - designate either intellect or agility, respectively, as the stat that increases crit % with them.
Any thoughts?

"Resist" is simply wand-speak for "miss". In that respect, they function much like weapons. The odd part is that on some occasions they are spells, and on others, they aren't. You can use a wand while silenced, but if you've been hit with a Spell Bomb (does 300 damage to you whenever you cast a spell) a wand will set it off.
