Ideally, you want your wand to be made of a material that doesn't disperse the heat to the outer surface of the wand for at least a quarter of a second after the spell is cast. Oh, and you've just invented 'Wandcraft' as a surname right alongside 'Fletcher' in the 13th century by turning the manufacture of wands into an industry. Other than that though let the destruction commence! | |

But a slight variation to this: fire the arrow, and when then wounded person grabs the shaft in reaction to being shot, call out the enchantment blowing up him, and everyone around him. IE: make your enemy grasp the wand | |
