In Avowed, wands provide a distinct playstyle for spellcasters, with a focus on speed and accuracy rather than raw power. These magical wands fire homing projectiles, which are simpler to target, but lose some defensive capability. Yet, the special wands that can be found all over the world of Avowed have unique enchantments that greatly enhance their combat capabilities. This guide outlines where to locate each of these potent wands, from the effectively channeled Minoletta’s Conduit to the divinely charged Cruel Command, giving you the information to obtain these powerful instruments of arcane mastery.
All Unique Wands in Avowed
Wands in Avowed are perfect for spellcasters who like to attack quickly from a medium distance. They fire homing projectiles, so you don’t have to be perfectly accurate. While they’re not great for blocking, the special enchantments on unique wands make them surprisingly powerful.
Minoletta’s Conduit
“This metal wand has been built in a way to allow more efficient channeling of the magical blasts this type of weapon is known for. The techniques used to do this are known only to a small handful of master wandmakers, but the effect has been described as being for wands what rifling is firearms. This particular design was first created by the archmage Minoletta, known for her many spells that unleash missiles of pure force upon their unfortunate targets.”

Whisper of Exiles
“The Godless were master artisans, well ahead of their time. This weapon is one example of some of their more intricate work. Whether through magic or artifice, two separate pieces of ivory – one black and one white – were twisted and bound together to create this wand. Once wielded by the archmage Ryngrim for its affinity for frost, the weapon fell out of favor as her power and mastery of cold deepened. The whispers that you can sometimes hear coming from this wand drift across your senses like a frigid winter wind.”

Cruel Command
“One of the two legendary armaments favored by Feysa Adaerus, a fire godlike arcane knight of the Steel Garrote from centuries past. This wand, made by her hand, was imbued with some of her own divine fire to bring the searing justice of The Burned Queen to oathbreakers and heretics alike. Feysa was said to have a uniquely terrifying presence about her, able to end a fight before it began with naught but a spoken command as her enemies found themselves rooted in place through sheer terror. Those of strong enough will to resist would find themselves on the receiving end of Cruel Command with two choices: Cower and submit or be reduced to ash.”
