A wand is a power tool and a ritual instrument for invoking deities.
I kid you not.
And no, the author didn’t mean it in humourous reference to the potenially high-energy applications of the wand. Maybe I have power tools on the brain these days, or maybe this is just poorly worded.
Every once in a while I just throw back my head and howl reading through this book. Sometimes in agony, sometimes with laughter. This one was a bit of both.
