How do you charge a magic wand?

Answer 1

It can be very difficult to make a wand, but if you don't want there to be side affects or any left over power from other owners, you probably shouldn't use someone else's, and making one will be your best strategy. It doesn't particularly matter in what order you do these steps, just complete the process in whatever way seems fit.

You will need:

a live tree (you don't have to own the tree, it can be in a park or something)

a bowl of water

scissors, or something to cut off a branch with

a book

a pen

a knife (for whittling it down)

Process:

ALL DONE AT NIGHTTIME

Cut off a stick from the tree about as long as your forearm (and hand).

Soak the stick in the bowl of water over-day.

The next night: write one NOUN (person, place, thing, or idea) in the book, something cool like "melody", "raven", "blue moon", something that seems magical to you. Do not write "magic".

The next night, do the same thing, until you have enough words that, if written the long way on the stick, will take up the space from end-to-end.

The NIGHT AFTER you have enough words, whittle the stick so it is skinnier and as long as your forearm (not including your hand). Write the words on BOTH SIDES of the stick, so they will fit on its newly-shortened form.

Burn the page on which you have written the words on in the book, and slightly singe the tip of the stick with the SAME FLAME (heehee, it rhymes).

Lay the wand on top of the book, and leave it outside in a place that seems magical to you (and where no one can get to it).

The next night, it will be ready!

Answer 2

Charging a wand is much the same as charging any other item. "Charging" is accomplished by usually holding the item in your hands and focusing all your energy into the item while concentrating on the intent the item is to be used for.

A magic wand is a ritual tool and requires more than a simple "charging". A ritual tool is to be consecrated into use. There are many ways to consecrate a ritual tool and the process is to lengthy to describe here. You need to research how to properly consecrate a ritual tool.
