alright, then what about making two versions of the wands, an unactivated one and an activated one. since unfinished items cant be used you make the unactivated one notglow, and the activated one glow, does this not solve the problem?
Seems too much work to create from every wand a second version to have a "not finished" version. Also is requires a few changes in the core scripts of the crafting system. Just for 4 wands...
