Wands (Thaumcraft 5)

Wands are a group of items added by Thaumcraft 5. They are created with one rod and two matching wand caps. Wands can channel Vis, and draw Vis from the Aura.

Thaumcraft 5 also adds Staves, which, as according to the Thaumonomicon, are "basically just bigger wands". Staves are created with one staff core instead of a rod. They cannot be used an Arcane Workbench. Staves have an attack damage value as well.
