Starhammer Posted Monday at 01:07 AM Posted Monday at 01:07 AM Ranged attacks, buffs/debuffs , controls... You could put a lot of different powersets, for a lot of different ATs under the "Magic Wand" concept. I expect they could all use existing power effects, and we already have a Magic Wand in the game (for curing Lost).
Psyonico Posted Monday at 02:32 AM Posted Monday at 02:32 AM Powersets should be origin agnostic. The "magic" in Magic Wand kind of destroys that. 4 What this team needs is more Defenders
Wavicle Posted Monday at 02:49 AM Posted Monday at 02:49 AM A costume piece that IS a weapon, and yet can be applied to any powerset that doesn't already have a weapon, could be pretty cool... 1 Wavicle's Guide To What Really Matters: What Needs To Be Done On Every Toon
Rudra Posted Monday at 02:50 AM Posted Monday at 02:50 AM Yeah, I'll support a Wands power set. I'll even support magic animations for it. I won't support a Magic Wands power set though.
biostem Posted Monday at 05:17 AM Posted Monday at 05:17 AM 4 hours ago, Starhammer said: "Magic Wand" A "wand" set, sure. A "magic wand" set - no thanks. Just as we don't have a "magic sword" or "tech gun" set - the ones we do have are broad and general enough to encompass anything form an archaic flintlock, to a high tech energy pistol, to some sort of enchanted pistol-shaped object, so should be the case with a "wand"... 1
keyguardactive Posted Tuesday at 12:46 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:46 AM And wand could encompass things like a Sonic Screwdriver or Star Trek Tricorder. It doesn't have to be Magic specifically. 1 2 1
Starhammer Posted Tuesday at 02:50 AM Author Posted Tuesday at 02:50 AM Forest for the trees folks. We only have one "wand" model in the game that I know of. Do any of you really think about a "wand" as a superpower implement and think of anything else without having to try? This kind of "feedback" is how threads get derailed.

Yes - Every bit as legitimate as a sword, a gun, a staff, or a mace. The only limit of what can be a "superpower" is your imagination. 2

Right off the top of my head for already exists reference? Weather Wizard from the DC universe. He doesn't use magic, he uses technology. (Edit: At least the version in Young Justice did.) He controls the weather through a technological device that looks like a wand. Then you have mutants that may use a wand (or other object) as a mnemonic device to help control their powers. Various control rods that operate sci fi equipment. Wands are hardly limited to just magic. Edited Tuesday at 03:23 AM by Rudra 1 2
Rudra Posted Tuesday at 06:12 AM Posted Tuesday at 06:12 AM (edited) Personally, I more prefer the suggestion of previous threads of adding wand animations to existing power sets. (Edit: Like @Wavicle pointed out on this thread.) Edited Tuesday at 06:12 AM by Rudra 2
