GnollHack’s automatic packing knows when a wand should stay out of a magic bag

GnollHack’s automatic packing is cautious about a wand you have not identified. Its official auto-stashing guide says that, while a relevant wand type remains unidentified, wands are treated as possible cancellation hazards and sent only to normal sacks. The system avoids putting a dangerous cancellation item into a magic bag.
That gives identification a practical connection to convenience. Owning a magic container is not enough to make it a suitable automatic destination for every object. What is known about the item affects what the packing system will do with it.
The useful discovery is an automated action with a stated limit. If you enjoy a roguelike where knowledge changes how ordinary inventory tasks behave, watch what the packing system refuses to assume. A plain sack can be the deliberate destination, rather than evidence that automatic sorting has forgotten the fancy bag.

One mechanic, the decision it creates, and a little dry humor.
