Book Appearances: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Overview: The White Witch’s wand is the instrument of Jadis’s petrifying magic.
Why it matters
The wand matters because it gives the Witch’s power a visible, memorable focus. The sight of creatures turned to stone is one of the clearest images of her tyranny.
It also helps distinguish her magic as cold, coercive, and deathlike rather than life-giving.
