Wands can be crafted from just about anything that has suitable magical significance, but most are small sticks easily slipped into a pocket or pouch. Learned and powerful wizards tend to craft multiple wands, making each one a focus for a different type of spell. Thus, wands are usually known by their effects and are referred to with names such as “wand of fire,” “wand of enervation,” or “wand of restoration.” Of course, even though wizards may craft multiple wands during their studies, this doesn’t make wands common by any means.
