oops I forgot to mention that uhh the new wand is done!! it’s been finished for a while tbh, I just procrastinated on gluing it all back together and taking a semi-decent pic. there’s only a couple key changes I made - re-doing it so it has the zig-zag bend ofc and coating the copper base part so it doesn’t tarnish and stays shiny :)

anyway THIS is as close to canon as I can make it!! I’m glad it’s done and I’m very proud of it but also I am never doing this again lol

here are the main ref pics I based it on for comparison:

and here are some closeups of what the gem looks like when light hits it bc it’s so pretty

(how obvious is it that it’s just living as a paperweight on my desk between cons)
