-The method described by [[Liused]] to [[Callahan, Juanita L. | Nita]] in [[SYWTBAW]] seems to be one of the commonest. In it, a donated rowan twig or branch (and the wood must be live) is peeled of its leaves and bark and left to soak in the light of the full [[Moon]]. Such wands are extremely effective against dark forces, due to the rowan's ancient and purposeful affiliation with the [[Powers That Be | Powers that Be]] and the forces of the light. It can also be used simply as a light source, by requesting the trapped light, in [[Speech, the | the Speech,]] to come on, go off, or burn brighter or darker as necessary.

-The method described by [[Liused]] to [[Callahan, Juanita L. | Nita]] in [[SYWTBAW]] seems to be one of the commonest.

 Such wands are not designed for permanent use. They can burn out and will crumble away to nothing if more power than they are "rated" for is pushed through them (as happens to Nita's first such wand in [[SYWTBAW]]). Additionally, they normally have a "use-by" date, and are only fully effective for three full moons and an intercalary day after their initial soak in moonlight. Shortly before the "use-by" date, the wand's effectiveness lapses to the point where it is only good for lighting purposes -- casting the remainder of the moonlight in which it was originally steeped -- and will no longer function as an effective offensive weapon or power focus.
