Hey /k/asters, just picked this baby up from the shoppe, only 1900 gold. The old gnome behind the counter said he bought it off some adventurers who found it in the Underdark. How'd I do? Can't wait to try it out after I attune.

you can get similar designs for 1400 plus shipping on wandbroker fyi

ppssh, you got taken. that's plastic. Even a first year apprentice ought to be able to tell that's not real serpentskin wrapped around there, and those baubles are just painted on....

Shady bastards the lot of them, that thing is cursed I'd bet.

>>63833222 (OP)
That's illegal to possess

>>63833222 (OP)
Did you even detect magic on it? It's probably all out of charges.

Oh, you're a 5th-gen wizard, that explains it.

You absolutely got scammed. A new Pandemonium State Artifice is going to run truer and have better aetherial balance at 600. At this price tag, you could get a Spellcaster & Wizard M&P with all the gucci shit and still have cash to spare for mana.

I love this anime so much. Very underrated

I rewatched it with tempered expectations and it was a lot of fun. I can see how it faded into the background but it deserves more recognition beyond Aisha coomposting

Don't listen to these zoomers. You made the right choice. Nothing is better than ol' reliable. Also stopping power is more important than amount of spells

I remember when you could get a crate of these for 190. For that money, you should really be getting something made within the last era, socketed, and premium imbued. I hope it was at least fully charged.

> stopping power is more important than amount of spells
This Battle of North Acrifolium-driven thinking really needs to stop in the lay battlemage community. Yes, it made sense for the Inquisition, because the Inquisition deals with well-protected raiding parties.
But a lay battlemage is going to use their wand for a lot of purposes, not only and not solely in combat with adversaries running half plate mithril armor. And when he's not (and with the amount of training a layman will realistically have) it's the ability to put a sheer volume of spells in the general direction of their foe that's going to matter.
Hell, with the amount and type of mana this "ol' reliable" is going to need, I doubt he'll be able to afford training to even an apprentice level. Have you seen the prices on red mana potions? It was bad enough during the Black Death, and it's still shit.

>That one point in Harry Potter Deathly Hallows where Harry picks up 3 wands and casts a triple stun spell at a werewolf.
If you can multiply spells like that with wands, you'd think wizards would be walking around with like 5 wands roped together at all times.

Imagine not having the wand recharge incantations by now. That shit is on the orbs if you know where to check.

Deadly Wands by Brent Reilly. Genghis Khan wears 4 wands on each leg, and 2 on each arm to be able to fly and fling fireballs at the same time. Book is genuinely ass besides the Khan fight pages.

>>63833222 (OP)
My state is pretty strict on wand control. Can I still get by with basic destruction spell scrolls or are the goblins at my local dark arts shoppe just trying to sell me useless paper?

1900? From a gnome? Good luck living the rest of your life with decayed fingers if you try casting anything beyond "Speaks with plants" after snorting some Baccaran. Could've just bought a tome or something.

People meme about them being unsafe or "having a mind of its own" as if an inanimate object could think, but you really shouldn't worry about it. NDs happen, I've had a few.

First time
>At friends apartment at college.
>Just bought my first wand from a magic show (I was 18)
>Drinking with friends
>Show them my new Oak branch
>Try to magically grow beard
>Thumb slips on rune, ND into celling Upstairs neighbors too high and drunk (gnomes and illegal smokeleaf) to call the police.

Second time
>At range Showing friend wand
>Think wand is dormant
>Point at ground show him how to wave and pronounce "leviosa".
>Forgot loaded soul gem in
>Summon 6 foot hole beneath his feet

Third time
>At parents house. Just bought a wand from a dwarf
>Get home
>Try swapping trinkets with another staff I had >Forgot the other staff was cursed.
>Wave wand
>Shoot hole to dungeon dimension in parents wall

Fourth time
>At my new house
>Playing with a friend's Ancient Babylonian Rod
>Release handle
>Summon chaos spawn halfway in the ground

Fifth time
>Showing a friend how to use it
>No idea how but a pentagram line got smudged
>Show him how summoning works
>Pull handle
>Summon gnome into floor in the same place as the chaos spawn
>Giblets everywhere

Sixth time
>Thought maybe the house was haunted
>Grab a wand
>Physically purify it, (dunked 3 times in holy water) with no forbidden runes in
>wave wand at the same hole
>Portal to hell summoned

Overall you shouldn't feel too bad about NDs. It's part of owning wands, and you should get used to them.

>>63837244
Awww, wittle wizard doesn't have the willpower to just summon his spells, he needs to speak out the incantation first! Go back to whatever backwater mages college you graduated from and finish your studies you half-wit.

>>63833285
lmao quiet down over there nowands, better bend over for your nightly inquisition search

I live by an old sorcerer's place, never spoke with him but apparently he passed away like a month ago and his family is having a sale getting rid of all the garbage in his tower, hoping to pick up some good shit. Maybe one of the golem girl maids he had is for sale....

>>63833222 (OP)
you got goblin'd. thats a 200 gold max garbage rod probably doesnt even have sockets i got mine in 2017 for like 60 gold its not even worth buying at 200 now let alone 1900. you got wrecked by an ancient.

>>63837255
it happens to the best of us anon

>>63834270
6 million gnomes stuffed into their hats over 6 years? I doubt it. If you had every gnome stuffer in Mercadia working every day for six weeks you would only get 271000 stuffed gnomes.

I've never met an anime fan who didn't like Outlaw Star. I think the only reason it may not be so well known is that it was overshadowed in the west by Cowboy Bebop, which came out right about the same time.
