YAPYAP How To Get A Wand: Getting Started With Magic

Using a wand in YAPYAP is one of the first real mechanics you interact with, and the game barely explains it. To start casting spells, you first need to obtain a wand, then use voice commands or casting controls to activate magic. Once you have a wand equipped, spells become your main way to move, survive, and complete objectives.

This guide explains how to get your first wand in YAPYAP and how wand usage works once you have it.

How To Get Your First Wand In YAPYAP

In YAPYAP, your first wand is the Wand of Winds. You obtain it very early, but only if you know where to look.

  • Go near the caravan area

  • Look for a tree with a lantern hanging nearby

  • Find the branch sticking out from the tree

  • Break off the twig to receive the Wand of Winds

Once the twig snaps off, the wand is added to your inventory automatically. No menu confirmation, no warning, just wizard problems solved.

How Wand Casting Works

After obtaining a wand, spells can be cast using voice commands or alternate controls if enabled in settings. Each wand has a fixed set of spells tied to it, and spells activate instantly when recognized.

Wands do not consume charges or durability. If a spell fails, it is usually due to timing, pronunciation, or poor decision making.

Equipping And Switching Wands

If you have multiple wands, you can swap between them during a run. Only the active wand determines which spells are available. Switching wands at the wrong moment can leave you without the spell you thought you had, which the game finds very funny.

Always check which wand is active before yelling at it.

Common Wand Mistakes

Most wand related issues come from small oversights.

  • Forgetting to actually pick up the twig

  • Trying to cast spells without a wand equipped

  • Standing too close to ledges when testing spells

  • Assuming the game will forgive mistakes

It will not.

Final Blurb

Wands are simple to use but easy to misuse. Grab the Wand of Winds early, get comfortable with casting, and treat every spell like it might backfire, because it probably will. Once wand usage clicks, the game opens up fast and becomes much less polite.
