Episode 7: Kill My Wand Lore

Visit haydenrodgers.net/killmydarlingsblog/episode7 for all you darling-killing needs!

This week I'm going to share with you my ideas about wands and the associated wand lore. We have all heard of this most famous of magical tools. Seen in the most wholesome of fairytales to the most serious of fantasy epics. The magic wand. Just saying those words conjures up strong memories and images of fantasy stories and magical realms. Given everything we've spoken about so far you might think this is a fantasy icon that I'd want to avoid. It's been done so many times and I've been trying to avoid cliches. Well, that's true, but the other thing I like to do is put my own spin on things. So that's just what I've done.

Just a heads up though, you'll probably want to make sure you've listened to Episode 5: Kill My Spellcasting before you get into this one.

The story this week is entitled Runaways and is my first attempt at putting my wand lore into words and seeing what that's like. Remember you can read any episode story on the blog!
