| Jan 25, 2021 at 20:06 | comment | added | zackit | that statement about wands becoming more popular makes me think that there may be a sort of magical industrial revolution as people come to better understand the chemistry and physics of magically active substances. | |
| Jan 25, 2021 at 20:06 | comment | added | IT Alex | all topics with Magic tend to stray into "too story based" and "opinion based" quite often. best of luck. | |
| Jan 25, 2021 at 20:04 | comment | added | zackit | thank you, this sounds reasonable enough that with them being so similar to unrefined quartz in many ways they would be hard to distinguish. still though, i feel like it would be fairly commonplace for people to illegally produce refined focii disguised to look like generic spells. | |
| Jan 25, 2021 at 20:03 | comment | added | IT Alex | @zackit wizards use to use a staff because that foci bit at the tip was prone to exploding when used. now that they can reliably make them not explode, wands are all the rage! | |

| Jan 25, 2021 at 20:01 | comment | added | zackit | also: your statement on making more capable wands look different form less capable wands makes me think that maybe different magic types have a different standard design, so you can visibly recognize what magic a wand can harness and how well. | |
