Wand

A wand is a one-handed projectile spellcasting weapon. It may be linked to any of the attributes that are characteristic to casters. Along with a focus, it is one of the two weapon sets preferred by casters. Wand and wanding are also used to refer to the act of attacking with a wand or staff.
