====== Craft Wand ======
{{tag>intermediate magician trait}}

You have learned the secrets of wood and magical cores, allowing you to create a wand shaped to cast a single spell.

Choose a spell from your Grimoire whose level is no higher than your Magician level.  Creating a wand shaped to cast this spell requires raw materials and Success Points as listed below.

^Spell Level  |  1  |  3  |  5  |  7  |  9  |
^Raw Materials Cost  |  10cp  |  50cp  |  100cp  |  150cp  |  250cp  |
^Success Points  |  3  |  5  |  8  |  12  |  18  |

You may spend one hour as a {{tagpage>rest}} activity [[ironbound:characters:class:magician:activities:craft_a_wand|Crafting a Wand]].  When you have accumulated sufficient Success Points, the wand is complete.  If you accumulate three Failure Points, however, the wand is ruined.

A completed wand has three Tolerance points.

===== Using a Wand =====

A character who can [[ironbound:rules:activities:Cast a Spell]] may Cast the spell embedded in the wand, and need not have it prepared, or even be a caster of the same Discipline.  The wand must be held in one hand, and the user need not have a free hand to Cast the Spell.  The caster follows all the normal rules for Casting a Spell with the wand, save that the only Bad Thing that they may select is:
  * The wand loses one Tolerance point.  If all three Tolerance points are depleted, the wand crumbles to dust.

If the target of a spell must [[ironbound:rules:activities:Avoid Danger]] imposed by the spell, they may select the above Bad Thing as though it were a Good Thing for them.
