Dear @Rory_Mclellan,
Regarding your question on Magician Wand Creation,
here’s some Source Material to work with,
to give some overview,
about what is used,
and how it’s used.
While carving the Wands Symbols,
Sigils,
and incantations on it;
Collect the chisels and waste from that process.
Make a brew from it’s waste material,
with alcohol,
adding Gemstones which you want to give power from,
into the finished product.
Also add incenses you want to essencly go into the Material.
Slowly heat that Brew,
just Electric plate setting 1-3,
or Gas small flame.
The Temperature should not go over 63 Degrees,
ideally,
while concecrating the brew.
As the Alcohole starts to move out of the pot,
and the material becomes less liquid,
you start adding Oil,
and also add a Teaspoon of Sulfur,
if you have it around.
(The sulfur further merges the different properties together,
and induces the Alchemical Process.
You don’t need much of it,
but a little.)
Gemstone powders,
should be added after the Sulfur is already in the brew.
You keep adding oil,
until the Alcohole is replaced with oil.
Then,
let it simmer at that low Temperature for at least 3 hours.
The Mixture,
will start showing off some unusual properties.
You can then,
if you want,
add Blood and liquid ingredients you see fit.
I would definately add some Honey,
personally,
since that usually helps making the Wand Obidient to you,
and loyal only to you.
Once you have that mixture finished,
you apply it to the Outside of the Staff,
and where you’ve put Runes and Symbols,
you make sure,
to apply it into the Inward Carvings.
That will change the Color of the Wand.
Next,
it needs to dry,
ideally either in Sunlight,
or low temperature ofen,
for about 6-12 Hours at least.
Cooling after that,
at least one day.
Ideal 3 Days.
At that point,
when it’s cooled off,
you can test the product,
and use it for spellcasting.
The inside of the Wand,
should be carved out a very thin hole,
into which,
you apply a thing String of Linnen,
or other material phaser.
The Phaser,
should me mixxed with the most density of powdered Gemstone,
and Incense powders,
and gets in there without being heat treated.
It needs to stay in it’s cold,
non heated state,
to fusing it,
you can use the brewed elixier oil,
and extra sulfur.
Be careful tho,
the Sulfur can start eating the materials,
when it gets to much,
but you can counter that,
with some Ash,
ideally Ashes of burned sigils.
To get the Phaser material into the wand,
you want a long metal needle,
which should be a little smaller then the whole in the Wand.
The Wands handle,
where the Whole for the inside of the Wand was carved,
is being closed of with Bee wax, or Portal Candle Wax,
once it’s filled and merged with the wood material around it.
The inner core,
which wasn’t heat treated,
and thereby remained “raw”,
is where you astrally attach the Soul essence energies to.
Charging the wand,
you want to fill it with Astral Energy,
so it’s soul forms nicely.
I write those informations here on balg,
so you can rest and find calmness,
my friend.
I was glad,
we looked into the topic already,
but i think it’s easier this way,
and we don’t have to come to holds,
having to look for time to catch up with making notes,
etc.
Plus,
others can benefit from the general mechanisms aswell.
Once you have the Wax Seal on the back,
you can add another Crystal (preferably a round, or big one),
to the End of the Handle,
which ideally,
represents collecting properties,
to absorb more energy into the wand,
and natrually keep it charged,
aswell as charging it further throughout spellcasting.
In general,
the Magicians wand mechanism,
is that of a Filter,
and a funnel,
a cone.
You basically take a big amount of Energy at the Handle,
in terms of the Energy flow,
in,
and than inside the wand,
it purifies,
structures into the spell required mechanisms and energies,
and push it out,
in a thin laserlike beam,
or a burst of a small sphere of energy,
which then goes into the location,
where it’s supposed to create the effect,
the manifestation of the Spell.
However,
there are cases in which the Wand also kind of act’s like a pencil,
when you carve Symbols into mid Air,
like for example,
drawing a Sigil,
Symbol of Power,
or a Specific Item you evoke.
Conjurative power,
always comes from the Sorcerer,
and isn’t inherrent within the wand,
however,
by applying the Conjerative Power to the wand,
as for example with the Shemyaza Master Key,
it gains more capacity for that,
and can in some cases,
even substitude your own capacity there.
The wand,
techniqually is only an extension of the Sorcerers body,
just like the sword is one of the knight,
or the knife one of the chef.
Lastly,
the Wand will grow into it’s own essence,
and start developing a Personality,
which will be based off on your own personality.
So please keep that in mind aswell.
It both,
absorbs your positive aswell as your negative emotions,
unless you specifically decide to make it filter out only specific ones.
And,
unless you bind that filter mechanism into one of the Crystals inside the Wand,
it won’t stay permanently filtering that way,
but only for a period of time,
until you either renew the filter,
or make it permanent,
you can expect the filtering to wear off after a few casts.
Anything you want to add / correct on that Process?
Any extra suggestions,
on the crafting of the Wands Core?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
¥’Berioth
