These can be made cheaply from such ordinary items as pea shooters, cattle prods and curtain rods. Curtain rods are particularly potent: Lee Harvey Oswald took a package of them to work on the morning of November 22, 1963. During his lunch break, he produced the famous magic bullet, which killed John F. Kennedy, wounded John Connally, promoted Lyndon Johnson, made a liar out of Earl Warren and, most unfortunately, brought Jim Garrison to Oliver Stone's attention. After all that, the slug still remains in pristine condition, so that it can, if necessary, be used again.
And cynics say the age of miracles is over.
All magick wands utilize the power concealed in rods: point the right kind of rod at your neighborhood banker, and he will give you money. But the notion that wands are surrogate penises is a phallacy.

This is the wand that Wizzrobe uses. Wave it to let loose magical spells. What's more, if Link picks up the Magic Book and learns some new spells, he can chant some fiery spells and send out flames.
—The Legend of Zelda manual, pg. 26, description of the Magical Rod
