Wand (Alpha)

"An instrument that helps us control our immense magical powers, it serves as a focal point for our spellcasting. When used with the Grimoire's prowess, mages of old were considered to be top-tier — their magic unmatched by any other except those of equal footing."

- Timaeus Houdini explaining the purpose of this magical item.

Wand (, Wando; lit. "Magical Power Amplification Rod") is an ancient magical item that's been used by previous eras, seen as one of the few methods of controlling a person's magic. Coming in all shapes and sizes, it's seen as a relic that some current mages hold in high regard — amplifying their strength and prowess to various degrees. It's commonly known that wands can be used as substitutes for most forms of Holder Magic, ignoring its casting conditions due to the incredulous power the wand itself wields.

While wands are typically used by inexperienced mages to manage their magical talents, few Archmages are seen skillfully wielding such a weapon, using it as a medium of conjuring powerful spells whilst retaining most of the magical reserves. At times, it's used in tandem with Grimoires to bring out a mage's full power.

Trivia

 * Like with Grimoires, the author decided to use Wands wanting to add more "experience" to the storyline he's creating — which has various types of fighting styles and more diversity than the canon.
 * In addition, spells cast through Wands are often recanted in Latin or Greek, two languages most associated with magic.


 * Most information pertaining to this article is taken from the infamous Harry Potter series and the anime/manga series, Magi: the Labyrinth of Magic.
