Staff

A channeling tool used by Wizards. It's a very old and standard tool and requires minimum magic training to use. Though it may look simple and organic, much thought has been put into carving and design, through not as tedious to make as wands.

Appearance
Traditionally, it resembles a long wood stick, which may reach as shoulder height. Generally, there is a smoothed handle partway down the staff that has a jewel embedded to enhance energy. Staffs must have a sturdy shaft and a metal-enforced stump. There may be a larger jewel at the top(crest) of the staff, for decoration of for magical properties. Traditional Staffs require a straight shaft, with nothing twined around it. Novice magicians traditionally start with such a staff.

Metal
A slightly more modern make of wand. It is considered "mimicky" and "cheap" by older wizards, but many report its advantages.
