Wizard Oils revert; wands stop scaling with spell damage
Minor, Lesser and plain Wizard Oil give 8, 16 and 24 spell power again, and wands ignore spell damage.

Two item changes in the September 24 beta build touch casters. Wizard Oils, made by Enchanting, go back to their Classic Era values: Minor Wizard Oil gives 8 spell power, Lesser Wizard Oil 16 and Wizard Oil 24. Brilliant Wizard Oil stays as it was.
Wands also stop gaining any extra damage from your spell damage, so a wand hits the same whatever your gear adds to spells.
The same notes fix a handful of guns and bows that weren’t using ammunition properly, set some quest rewards to their correct item level, and adjust a few early caster rewards.
Why it matters: the oils give the spell power Classic players know, and spell-damage gear no longer boosts a caster’s wand.
