A few players on Discord have reported that spells or commands that modify player attributes will cause their held wand to deactivate (closing spell inventory)

I think this has always been the case- the wand has to close and reload, basically rebuilding everything.

I seem to recall it would be really tricky (or at least prone to bugs/exploits) to avoid this, but I will keep this issue open and hopefully get a chance to review this behavior.

Ahh alright that makes sense, thanks for the info!
