Capítulo 20: Chapter 20: Selecting Wand Components For Spells
The following table lists the wand components that especially strengthen or focus spells in the previous spell categories. This table can be very valuable for identifying appropriate components for a wand intended to excel at casting spells of one or more desired spell sets. However, care must be taken, especially with magical woods and certain mystical crystals because they come in multiple varieties and different ones may have different magical properties and be associated with different spell sets.
