For many years the Mage, Wud-ew has scoured the world, both seen and unseen, to uncover the secrets of the most important tool of the true wizard. ‘THE WAND’. He discovered the home of Merlin deep in the woods – under the roots of a very ancient and noble oak tree in which Merlin spent the last years of his life and where he was able to compile a book of herbs, spells and directions for wizardry. (As you know, the world has searched for this book for centuries.) … But the one thing that the Mage Wud-ew wanted was the instructions for the power extension, THE WAND. Here were detailed instructions for all the various things to make the most effective wands; the proper woods, the extras, the materials and how to obtain them. Unicorn hair and horn, Black cat claws and tongue, Billy goat beard, Centaur tail hair Ogre cauldron scrapings, and most rare, Fairy or Pixie dust. But yet even harder to obtain was a Dragon’s scale and a Hummingbirds sneeze.

So began a quest to obtain these things and make some of the most powerful and refined wands. Most of all these wands were to be made of the finest and most magical woods obtainable; only of those things that would enhance the wizards own skills and be able to focus on the ‘object of interest’.

The woods are grown in an enchanted garden close to the oak tree home, … first planted by Merlin himself and guarded within a magical spell which allows only a limited amount of material to be harvested each year. These harvested blanks are then taken to the enchanted seasoning building where they are carefully graded and stacked to cure for up to three years. After curing they are sized and graded according for their potential enchantment strengths and then tested with other materials to further enhance their beauty and potential. They are then once again graded as to strength and beauty and the final shaping is done under the very spell of the wand so that it will be made as it would wish, for by now the wand has taken on abilities to almost be an entity of its own and is ready to choose a lifetime partner in the world of wizardry.

So that is part of the story of the wand. There are many more, and there have been times when a wand created by the hand of a mage experienced and trained in the making and charging has saved lives and even changed history.

Remember this is not to be used to hurt anyone but to teach and save others. Keep and cherish this as if it were part of you, for if it is not now, it will soon be.

May all your spells be good ones
Master Mage, Wud-ew B. Leave
