The Magic Wands are magical tools predominantly used by witches to channel magical energy and perform magic. They are part of the basic equipment of a witch and her male counterparter wizard.

Description[]

Magic Wands can come in different designs and shapes, but they all share the same function: To channel the magic energy from the Ley Lines through the Sorcerer's Stone and in turn, allowing its user to perform magical feats. This is mainly done by using verbal spells, however, it is possible to perform magic without them. While the energy they can handle within their batteries is limited, using a source like the Sorcerer's Stone allows the magic to be used freely.

Magic wands are the main means by which witches perform their magic but there are also other objects such as the Shiny Rod and potions that also allow the use of magic.

While Magic Wands are primarily used by witches, it is not exclusive to them. Their male counterparts, Wizards, also use wands to cast magic, though this only implied and has yet to be confirmed until this point.

Wand Accessory[]

To improve its functionality on certain situations, the user can attach following attachments on his/her wand for such purpose:

Trivia[]

  • The design of Cavendish family's standard and child wands (being wooden rods with snake-like handle that wraps around it) is a reference to the Rod of Asclepius, from Greek mythology, which is a serpent-entwined rod wielded by the Greek god Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicine. This is quite fitting given to the magical family in question being magical healers during their time.
