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 a magic beast. 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.

Examples of Cores are:

Harpy Core: Harpy core gives the wands better control of Air magic.

Phoenix Core: Phoenix core gives the user better control of Fire magic

Basilisk Core: Basilisk core gives the user better control of Water magic

Cockatrice Core: Cockatrice core gives the user better control of Earth magic

Baku Core: Baku core gives the user better control of Mind magic

Lycanthrope Core: A Lycanthrope core gives the user better control of Enhancement Magic

Unicorn Core: A Unicorn Core gives the user better control of Healing Magic

Hag Core: A Hag Core gives the user better control of Curse (Dark Magic)

Empousa Core: An Empousa Core gives the user better control of Blood Magic

Pegasus Core: A Pegasus Core gives the user better control of Celestial Magic

Barghest Core: Barghest core gives the user better control of Demonic magic

### Legendary Cores

Legendary Cores are wand cores that are made with parts from extraordinarily powerful and rare magical beasts. These come from creatures such as Demon Princes, High-Order angels, True Dragons, and Threstrals. Wands with Legendary cores can only be wielded by the person who made the wand. Using these wands without having the skill to use 10th level magic is practically impossible. Trying to do so will slowly drain your life, the more skilled the longer it takes but without the skill of the 10th level spells your death is inevitable. These wands have the power to destroy lesser wands. Each legendary core has its own unique way of being passed down beyond the maker.

Thestral Core: The unique way of receiving this kind of wand is to kill the user using a Curse. If the user of the wand dies by **any** other means the wand turns to dust and is unusable. The wand gives the user immense control over Curse. A Threstral wand allows the user to augment the curse, but you cannot change what the curse does. For example, you cannot change a petrify spell to do anything other than petrifying, but you can set the length of the spell to be practically anything, slow down the activation time to take years rather than moments, and even allow the victim to feel while petrified.

Demon Prince Core: The unique way of receiving this kind of wand is to physically obtain the wand and perform a blood sacrifice using a person you legitimately love. If you do not use someone you love the wand will kill you instead. A Demon Prince wand gives the user immense control and power over demonic magic. This allows the user complete control over any demon of the 5th court or lower. Additionally, this wand grants the user incredible control over demonic augmentations, allowing the wielder to use any demonic augmentation spell without the consequences of the spell.

True Dragons: The unique way of receiving this wand is to touch the wand. The wand will only accept a master (after its first) that would truly give **anything** to have the wand. If you touch the wand without the greed necessary it will instantly teleport to a random location on earth. This wand allows all Fire spells to be of the 4th type. It also enhances your Fire spells beyond reason.

Seraphim: The unique way of receiving this wand is to touch the wand while also being pure of heart. If you are not pure of heart the wand acts inert and will not function. The seraphim wand empowers the user's Celestial Class spells. Radiant type spells are greatly boosted along with augmentation type.
