Magic wand

A magic wand is a basic tool used by witches and wizards to cast spells.

Appearance
Magic wands are steel cylindrical rods about one foot in length and two inches in diameter. Each wand has a crystal on the end that is used to manipulate magical energy, and an indicator on the side that notifies the caster how much energy is left before the wand needs to be recharged.

Crystals come in many different colors and types, but are usually made up of common precious metals to reduce cost.

Usage
Before a magic wand can be used, the caster must first press the wand's crystal against their skin, usually against the finger or the palm of the hand. This process creates an enchanter's sign on the caster and bonds the wand and its crystal to them, allowing them to cast magic spells.

Magic spells are cast by gripping the wand tightly and drawing symbols in the air, and then thrusting the wand in the general direction of the target. The direction and order the symbol is drawn are irrelevant; as long as the symbol is complete and accurate, the spell will cast successfully.
