Magic Scepter

The ability to possess/channel and/or project magical power through a sceptre. In-between version of Magic Staff and Wand Magic. Variation of Magic Weaponry and Magic Object.
==Also Called==
*Arcane/Magic/Mystic Powers via Wand-Staff
*Magic/Magical Rod 
*Magic Sceptre
*Sceptre Magic/Sorcery/Witchcraft/Wizardry
*Wand-Staff
==Capabilities==
The user possess a magic scepter; a mystical ornamented rod that can perform a variety of powerful magical acts. These mystical scepter not only grants its user access to magic that would otherwise remain beyond their reach alone but also enhances the magic they already possess, serving as a powerful augmentation tool of great power.
Given the scepter's inherent symbolism of sovereignty and authority, often seen in ceremonial contexts, users can be titled as rulers within the realm of magic. They can channel their magical powers into the scepter, thereby amplifying their magic and spells, asserting their dominance in the mystical domain.
Although users may access certain spells without the scepter, these artifacts acts as a specialized aide, enhancing their magical capabilities. When endowed with its own arcane energies, the scepter becomes a conduit through which its user can channel and harness greater magical forces. This enables the casting of complex spells, the invocation of incantations, and provides a means to confront and counteract any other mythical/magical beings and their magical powers.
Distinct from magic staffs and wands in terms of size—occupying a middle ground between the taller staff and the more diminutive wand—scepters offer a unique balance of power and convenience. On occasion, the term "scepter" may be colloquially applied to describe objects resembling staffs or wands, yet a true scepter's identity is rooted in its role as a symbol of command and its capacity to amplify and bestow magical powers, setting it apart as a singular tool of majesty and might in the magical hierarchy.
