Okay! So the magic wand (to me) looks like a decorated easter egg on the end of a small pole, with two thorns sticking out of the middle painted yellow.
Well, i made a new graphic for it.... This took me about 2 hrs. to get (what i think is) the right perspective, according to a tile... and is centered right. Here is the linke...

Looks nice... but it looks sort of like a Rapier.

Not too bad.
Would you mind rendering a cube for me as well?
It looks rather simplistic, but maybe you can add details later.

uhm, that is a joke, right? well. iam no expert in graphik. but i cannot see where that is a magic wand. it looks more like a sword, or just a metall staff with some handle. i really know NOTHING about graphic, but well, that isn't a magic wand for me.

I dont see whats wrong with it. It looks much more realistic than the old one... I think it looks like a long skinny wooden pole, which is what a wand should be...

a magic wand is, in the traditional fantasy, 2 metres long, wooden or of some others magical materials. it is curved, with many ornaments, and it have a knob at his end. this knob often have some strange form, or is a gemstone or something like that. THAT is a magic wand. but ya have just a metal staff.

There is no such thing as a traditional fantasy magic wand. Magic wands differ in every form. Also, what you describe is more of a blessed staff, not a wand.

What you mean is a staff.
Wands are usually much shorter.

than explain to me why the wand in the game must be hold with two hands
and why the staff have a similar look like the wand.

Simple:
The wand is designed for mages,who have no use for shields. To keep things even, the shield item block is blocked with a wand so that mages dont cheat.

well, okay, i made a failure. but for me, that is still no "wand". too plain. and it is hard to see what it should be.
by the side, in german a wand is a "zauberstab", and the "stab" in it means "staff" in english

Its got a grip like a sword, but is blunt at the end, Its an interesting concept

i think the police calls something like that "baton" in english.

The concept is not interesting but boring.
But the style and the perspective and the size is right, which makes it promissing. However, for a real item it's much too simplistic.

A baton is a T shaped staff, with two grips, its around 2ft long on average, and is grippable anywhere on the shaft.
That wand has a defined grip, however, I think more along the lines of "Wooden training sword" when i see it.

I thought about a baton (the one a conductor uses) or a skewer. Not a magic wand.

Yes, Nilo's wand looks like a conductor's baton, thin and rather puny looking. But I think the magic wand we have now seems unrealistic... I mean, why is it purple?

Well, i got the handle idea from Harry Potter... well, its not suposed to look metal, i gave it a wooden texture, but i suppose i can edit it a bit more and give it better texture...
Also, I couldnt give it a great amount of detail, as it must be small and thin, thus making it as grant put it, "puny".

We're going to need a graphic of a tub of Land O' LakesTM to go with that...um...wand.

arg. well it has to be small, so i cant add hardly any detail.... If your think its that bad try making one yourself!!
Anyhow, im working on it. I think ill try to make it a little bit bigger, which would allow for alightly more detail....
