Wands

Wands
Wands are how most magi use magic. Wands were first created by Magi in the Roman empire, which was one of the reasons for Rome's power. Wands have become such an important part of Magic that every Magi uses one. Wands are artificially created but they do have some intelligence as they will resist anyone who is not their master. Wand masters are either their creator or a person their creator picks. Generally, if the user of a wand dies, the wand becomes unusable to anyone else unless the wand is taking to a Wandmaker to have the wand "wiped".

 

Most wands are made by Magi who specialize in doing so. Wands made are made out of two parts, the wooden shell, and a magic core. Wooden shells have no effect on the wand's functioning. Wands are unbreakable expect by extremely powerful wands or the wand's master.

 

Wand Core
Wand cores are made from a part of anything with magic in it life force. Wand core changes how the wand works, giving it an easier time to cast certain spells. The first step in making a wand core is to take the magic out of the magical beast's part and turn that magic into a cornu. A cornu, or Horn of Magic, is a long, thin strip of pure, crystallized magic. Then the core is magically placed inside the wooden shell which completes the wand.
