The person who designed the quest was roleplaying. The reference to this as a "focus item" refers to it's INT bonus - nothing more.
More INT = More Mana. If a successfull channeling roll is based on INT (which I suspect it is) then more INT will aid in your channeling. A mere 3 INT however is of dubious benefit to Wizards in the SoL age. The 3 AC is more likely to help you.
In my opinion all of the old world Wizard quests are terribly dated and in need of a revamp. The only 2 of any value would be the Staff of the Wheel, and Staff of Temperate Flux. Spend your time doing the latter, it's a much better weapon.

Totally agree with you on this one Discordia.
The text from the guy is this:
"The Weeping Wand is a fine item for a wizard. It can serve as a focus for concentration, and, if needed, be used to parry as well. Are you [interested] in the [wand]?"
However we don't get parry skill, and the wand has no listed 'focus' effect on it. So I too suspect that the text is simply referring to the ac+3 and int+3.

We need a modern item window pic of this wand.
We could use a pic of someone wielding this wand as well.
