Definitions:
Wands
Wands are magical tools that descend from staffs and from the striking stones of Lasceaux. Wands are used to make complete tasks of a magical nature.
Cauldron
Cauldrons have been with us since time immemorial. Cauldrons come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can also be made of different substances. Witches and Wizards use cauldrons to make potions.
Thomas Marlowe
Thomas Marlowe created the first modern wand in 1689 when he inserted the hair of a bezoar into a hollow cylinder of yew.
Scepter
Considered by some as an over-extension of the wand.
Essay
It is my personal opinion that wizards are too dependent on wands. I think back to when I was a child and my parents were constantly yelling at my siblings and I for making things happen with magic when we weren’t supposed to. I used to be able to make all sorts of things happen. A family favourite was leaping out of the attic window and seeing who could bounce the farthest down the lane. I am now an adolescent and can not make anything magic happen without using my wand.
If I were in a duel, or some sort of battle involving magic and my wand broke, I would be in big trouble, unable to defend myself. Perhaps the modern wizard’s dependency on wands is a bad thing and we should be learning wandless magic
Professor Binns, sir, I have a question about our lesson:
Ollivanders has been making wands since 382 BC, what did they make before 1689 (when the modern wand came into being)?
