1. Weapons (Wands)
Wands are your primary casting tool. They are purely cosmetic—handled from character creation—and cannot be changed later. All wands function identically in combat; no stats are tied to them.
- Acquisition: Selected during the Ollivanders quest (early game). You choose core (Unicorn Hair, Dragon Heartstring, Phoenix Feather) and wood type. These affect only spell visual effects (e.g., Phoenix Feather produces golden sparks).
- Usefulness: No gameplay impact. Choose based on lore preference.
- Synergies: None.
