Just had this drop today, it's a new item from Disciple of the One, boss of Sepulcher, i'd like to request a review of it's resists and its charisma against the primary glass cieling that is the Malicious Scepter..

Considering that the Malicious Scepter was one of the first items I got in ruin almost a year ago in Dragonhorn Keep, and the Scepter of Control comes from a higher tier and much harder encounter with other loot that far surpasses anything in DHK it would be nice to not have to downgrade my resists and charisma to wear it (for its otherwise awesome effect - and melee damage!)
 
The skill used is a bug yes. And I agree, I'll add some resists and improve it overall. Should be fixed next patch along with a few other item changes.
 
what about adding some resists to wand of destructive force? (not trying to ninja the thread, also showing that the Scepter of Control could use a large improvement in stats)

Wand of Destructive Force
MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Slot: PRIMARY SECONDARY
AC: 15
Focus Effect: Damage Increment V
Effect: Force Shock (Must Wear Clicky, 7.0)
STR: +30 STA: +30 INT: +25 CHA: +25 HP: +75 MANA: +125
MR: -30
Weight: 1.9 Size: Tiny
Class: NEC WIZ MAG ENC
Race: ALL

drops from gtoss in everchill, which is the key mob to be taken out to access Prison and in my opinion a hard mob to kill than Yziar, who drops the Malicious scepter.  this item by far has awesome stats, but the one thing i find it lacking compared to the scepter is the lack of resists on it, other than magic of course.  to my understanding the -30MR was there because the item "takes magic from the caster and focuses it into damage"  or at least thats how i see it so it's never bothered me. also trying to show how Scepter of Control compares to other caster prim/sec items out there that are easier to obtain.

The Wand of Destructive Force is fine as it is, it's mighty popular among casters for a good reason.
