It has long been a practice of the untrained (non mages) to leave sleeping
wands where they lay. If a wand is in a corpse and you dig the grave you do
not handle the wand to cuase its to explode. If you loot and burn the corpse
it even tells you that you don't pick it up but yet it will trigger the wand
to explode. As it currently works there is no way for a barbarian to loot and
burn a corpse w/o significant risk of and explosion. Please make looting and
burning ( ..but change your mind as you notice it is one of those mind flapper
devices. ) actually do so and not handle the wand so that you do not trigger
possible explosions.
