Damage By Level

Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.

Level	Common	Uncommon	Rare	Epic	Legendary
1	10	11	12	16	18
10	23	26	29	38	41
20	38	42	48	62	68
30	54	59	67	86	94
40	68	75	86	110	121
50	84	92	104	134	147

Enhancements by Level

Each upgrade at the Alchemist raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. Rarity sets how many upgrades a copy takes: one for common, up to five for legendary.

Upgrade	Unlocks At	Enhancement	Effect
1	Level +1	Lightning Damage	Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage
2	Level +2	Mana Leech	+9 Mana Leech
3	Level +3	Lightning Damage	Adds Lightning Damage equal to 10% of base damage
4	Level +4	Renewal	+1 Health Regeneration
5	Level +5	Renewal	+1 Health Regeneration

Special Ability

Overcharge: This wand holds a chance to amplify its damage output. Attacks deal bonus damage up to the overcharge percentage. Almost every wand carries this ability.

Multishot: Fires multiple projectiles but at reduced damage. Several wands carry it, so one cast sends out a volley in which each projectile hits for less than a single shot.

Skills

These skills make wands stronger or add new moves to them.

Skill	Tree	Cost	Effect
Eternal Spark	Mage	3	Wand projectiles have a 25% chance not to consume durability.
Sting	Mage	3	Repeated wand damage is increased by 20%.
Unity	Mage	3	Damaging enemies with wands has a 24% chance to recover 4% mana.
Wand Master	Mage	3	Attacking with a wand has a 30% chance to spawn an additional wand projectile that deals 50% damage.

Lore

This strange wand was found buried in ash. Its body bends and twists but never breaks. It lies in an attic in Pikemead's Reach, the fallen capital of Embervale. Commander Cyrus found the city a burnt-out pyre, still choking the horizon in blue smoke. The wand is one of the unique items of Revelwood in the Set List.

Notes

Overcharge gives each attack a chance to deal bonus damage, up to the overcharge percentage. Multishot fires several projectiles at once, each at reduced damage. Wands are Mage weapons, and this one deals lightning damage. The wand also adds mana regeneration. Its Renewal perks restore durability each time an enemy falls, so it wears down slowly on long trips.
