[OoC we didn't actually know it was a wand of Identify, only that pointing it at the pond had no effect. So we suspected.]

[As long as you have the password it doesn't seem to matter if you know what the spell does inside. Which makes sense. If someone gives a wizard a wand and says the command word is for a Burning Hands spell but really it creates a fireball, it wouldn't matter that the wizard thought it was for a Burning Hands. The wand would still produce a fireball because he said the command word and fireball is still on his list. ]
