WandSource Dark Archives (Remastered) pg. 41Wand implements are short, lightweight batons, usually made of wood but often incorporating other materials. Due to their association with spellcasters, wand implements are connected to magic and its practice, as well as the direction and manipulation of energy. Wand implements are associated with the astrological signs of the thrush and the sky dragon.

Concentrate Magical Manipulate Thaumaturge Source Dark Archives (Remastered) pg. 41Requirements You’re holding your wand implement.
You fling magical energy at a target within 60 feet, dealing 3d4 damage, with a basic Reflex save against your class DC. The damage is of the type you selected when you gained your wand implement. At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter, the damage increases by 1d4.
You can expend more energy than usual to boost the effect of Fling Magic, dealing d6s of damage instead of d4s. After you do, the wand's extra energy is discharged; you can't boost the wand's damage again, but can continue to Fling Magic normally. The extra energy recharges at the end of your next turn.
Special This activity has the trait corresponding to the damage type you selected.
Adept Benefit7th
You gain versatility and additional benefits when you fire your wand. The range of Fling Magic increases to 120 feet. Choose a second damage type from the list; whenever you Fling Magic, you can select between either of the two damage types you have chosen.

- Cold: The target becomes chilled, taking a –10-foot status penalty to its Speeds for 1 round.
- Electricity: The target is shocked, becoming off-guard until the end of your next turn.
- Fire: The target catches flame, taking 1d10 persistent fire damage (or 2d10 on a critical failure). If you have the wand paragon benefit, this increases to 2d10 persistent fire damage (or 4d10 on a critical failure).
