Wand

Wands were spellcasting implements commonly used by artificers, bards, warlocks, and wizards alike. Constructed from wood, many wands typically had arcane energies of their own. Sometimes this energy allowed the caster to simply empower their spells, while other wands possessed the ability to cast their own.

Description
Typical wands were usually 15 in (38 cm) long and were made of metal, wood, or bone. They were commonly tipped with some different material, such as crystal, metal, or stone.

Powers
The primary use of wands was to channel the spellcasting powers of spellcasters such as bards, druids, sorcerers, warlocks or wizards, aiding them when casting their spells. By doing so, someone using a wand as a spellcasting focus could eschew most of the more ordinary material components required for a spell. While arcane casters could in general use a piece of any type of wood as a wand, druids in particular tended to prefer wands made of yew or other special woods.
