	The forlorn hope it is occasionally compared to the wand known as the [[Acolyte's Mercy]]. While both implements allow a magician to wield the heal spell, a wand is rarely considered a good choice for use in the midst of a chaotic melee. The rod on the other hand is useful in the midst of battle, where it allows the magician to [[heal#Swift casting\|swiftly heal]] an ally without putting aside their weapon. It still has value after a battle when the spell can be performed at a more leisurely pace. In the [[The Marches\|Marches]] a forlorn hope is sometimes called a ''pressman's needle'', while in [[Dawn]], [[Highguard]] and [[Wintermark]] it is more commonly known as a ''vanguard's succour''.
