Overview
The wand is a Mage's best friend at the start of their adventure, and this one is no different. Outclassing the similar Apprentice Wand by double(!) the attack damage, it allows players to attack safely. Its fast attacking speed and its multi-hit special allows mages to keep weaker enemies at bay. However, the only way to get magical essence for a new mage is to buy it or from their kit, so finding a melee substitute is a must. While outclassed by the Apprentice Wand's upgrades, it still has a fast fire rate and is more efficient than them. Almost all other magic weapons outclass the essence wand, but a new or just-dead player can use it effectively.
