That moment when you get sent to Asscabin because Harry Potter saw your pencil and thought it was an illegally modified wand πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”

Open up, it's the magical UN. Drink your butterbeer and stop thinking about how a TERF has used a potion that can literally change your gender as a central plot point in multiple books!

[–] Omegamint@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago (2 children)

At any point if the series does anyone bring up the idea of abolishing the very fucked up system of having weird spirit creatures sucking out your soul or whatever at asscabin? Or do they just kinda shrug and accept it the whole series long?

Accepting the torture demons at the torture prison as a part of life that doesn't need to change seems pretty normal for the neoliberal ideologyshrug-outta-hecks

The magic status quo is as good as it gets. That's why elf slaves are cool and good. Stop asking questions, Hermione. smuglord

nuh uh. Can't fool me. I went to UU. Sock with half a brick in it for me.

[–] echognomics@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

Why waste time scrounging up both a sock and a half-brick when a single cast-iron frying pan is already more than adequate for any imaginable problem, plus fairy incursions? Typical PMC wizardry, always trying to overcomplicate magic.

Wonder what the wand of choice is for Vince Clortho's.

They got an entire unit of surplus US military wands from WW1. 60% of them don't work anymore

Does the bayonet even have to be mounted like that ot it can just be sticked at the end? Entire thing looks rather fragile and if it the latter case then a better version is availble, it's called spear.

[–] propter_hog@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The magic-y bits come out the end, I'm guessing, and they don't want them getting tangled up in the bayonet

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

But the sawn-off wand does work? Hmm you could also mount the spear blade on the other end of wand and use something shorter, like assegai?
Or just use traditional Polish magic wands:

The wizarding world is not ready for this technology.

Balisongs are cool as shit I wish I had any reason to ever have one. Also to not look like a weirdo murderer if I did have one lmao.

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I have one that isn't actually a knife, it's just a comb. That's a legit reason to get one (assuming you're not bald)

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

Best argument to stop reading theory I have seen lenin-rage

I have a couple, I can confirm they’re cool!

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

Peasants, true mages wield their magic with their bare hands. I’M the one with the powers, not the stick.

If your spell casting doesn’t make me feel like I’m in the famed mirror of clairvoyance show Dragon Ball, I want nothing to do with it!

It looks like itd be way harder to disarm the knuckle wand, so im going that that one

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

Knucklewand is perfect for a Geomancer.

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I actually have a trench knife IRL so I feel a bit biased towards the knuckle wand but I do like the simple effectiveness of the nail wand though... hmmm...

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 8 months ago

A comrade of culture, I see.

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

i wish the nail wand had a bunch of other smaller wands randomly jammed into the front like nails instead

that being said the obvious answer is butterfly wand so you can do the whole butterfly trick routine to intimidate other mages before the spell battle begins

Knuckle wand, for sure, but butterfly wand looks dope as hell

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Sawed off shortwand will probably have recoil like the tiny gun from Men In Black. I'll go with the butterfly wand, because it'd look cool and no other reason.

I'm going to assume the nail wand works like a quake nailgun and pick that one. Gotta do some high velocity carpentry on the wizard cops from terf school
