Wand of the Heavens

[SimDing0]

The description indicates that it does 8D6 damage, but it looks like 6D8 unless I've misunderstood. Does the text update address this, or have I misinterpreted the effects?

I have the text update installed, so I can check this when I get home.

Confirmed. Wand says 8d6 (save for half) but actually does 12d4 (save for half).
