      having people use wands/rods again certainly isn't a bad thing.

  Not true in the new skill system - you should once again get exp for using 
rods and wands to kill something.

  Now the skill it goes into is 'use magic device', which as of now, is 
basically pointless (there is no chance of failure with that skill for example). 
  But it also does add to your overall exp level.

  So its probably not as useful as killing them with a spell you know, but not 
as useless as it once was.
