Now make a Staff of Power for our little Raven of Misfortune

@andrewfisher1051 7 месяцев назад

Yes, do it! I mean can a wizard really have to many? I think not.

@deckmoth8753 7 месяцев назад

The staff with this wand in it like Gandalf’s pipe in his staff

@CreationsInChrist 7 месяцев назад

Remember the winter adventure cloak? I would absolutely love to see something else like that but for a desert environment. Things like maybe peg holes in the corners of the cloak to make a cover for items in a sandstorm, and a dust mask, and maybe the cloak itself can unfold into a tent.

@whirlwind6268 7 месяцев назад

Mint idea, I'd also love to see something like this! As someone who lives in a more desert-esque environment it would be much appreciated to see

@AzraelThanatos 7 месяцев назад

For attaching the crystal to the light, a better option than hot glue would, probably, be UV resin.

@coreyz.2800 7 месяцев назад

For aesthetic purposes and to make it more "wand-like" I would have gone with a much longer crystal (at least 2-3 times the length of the "handle"). Alternatively, I'd want to extend the handle to look more like a long stick with a crystal tip. The tricky part there would be engineering a small mechanism for accessing the power button, either via a sort of "dowel inside a pipe" set up or some kind of switch/button that levers up to the power button from the outside. That's assuming of course that we don't just cannibalize the back end and relocate the button to the outside of the shaft.

@Ithirahad 7 месяцев назад

I'd just take the guts out of the blacklight and make my own 'casing' for it. Can't be complex circuitry in there.

@brokenthought1102 7 месяцев назад

that may get tricky with weight, or balance, but I imagine with more time to consider the project, a Cl3ver idea could be had

@azulsahar 7 месяцев назад

I looked for longer, skinnier flashlights on Amazon. then build a longer wand from tubing, giving it more of the wizard look. the wand in two pieces to allow access to the battery.

@Ithirahad 7 месяцев назад

@@azulsahar ...or just get one of those USB-C rechargeable flashlights and dress it up. If you have electronics experience you could actually take the guts out and turn it into an amulet with a Qi charging base, to which you could then add a ring of disguised solar panels so it doesn't have to plug into a wall socket, but this is way too much effort for a minor project. If you are organizing a LARP it might make sense though.

@RM-vw3ov 7 месяцев назад

Ooo a gandalf staff would be fun too…

@kyranthewalker9095 7 месяцев назад

I literally made two of these crystal torch things a few weeks ago. I saw one on etsy quite a while back and figured it wouldn't be too hard to recreate. I used similar crystal molds, and UV resin with some resin inks to change the color of the crystal. I used purple for the first one, but decided it looked better with a blue crystal for my second one. Some leather patch tape around the outside since it already had adhesive and I could cut it to size with scissors or a knife. Turned out alright for very little work.

@darrinrebagliati5365 7 месяцев назад

I had a couple different ideas for the wand. 1. Paint it a metallic color; gold, silver, bronze etc. 2. Paint it wood colored. Either way (and you should too) it needs some arcane symbols on it, definitely an eye.

@colleengarren1462 7 месяцев назад

I made a cool wizards staff with a rose quartz crystal on top with a hollowed out compartment on the side for a laser pointer to fit into and it shoots up through a hole I drilled straight down from the top before I glued the crystal on top. So it shines up into the crystal and lights it up. It’s really awesome. I hid the compartment with a rabbit pelt wrapped around and lashed it on with leather. That way you can turn the light on by clicking the button through the fur pelt and no one is the wiser😉😉 also the particular laser pointer I used, does regular laser mode, flashlight mode and black light mode. How fun is that?!?

@hills214 7 месяцев назад

if you want a great invisible ink, Noodlers blue ghost is invisible when dry but shows up bright under uv/black light

@Sion_Revan 6 месяцев назад

Had a bunch of mini LED's lying around as well as a few worn drumsticks, drilled through the center of one, inserted an LED and fed the wires down to couple of button cells and the on/off clicker from a small torch recessed into the drumstick, a bit of file work, sand paper and a leather handle wrap, it ended up a bit like the Elder wand.

@shoreknightseer3152 7 месяцев назад

I made something like this a few years back for my dnd players. I used a cheap plastic magic wand from, I think, Party City. I cut the tip off, stuck in a black light LED, ran wires to the battery in the back and fashioned a little switch at the butt end. Gave it a little weathering and bam! Worked great. Wonder if I still have it

@mamadee9548 7 месяцев назад

This s perfect timing. My friend who is a tattooist has just introduced me to UV ink and I’m thinking of some mage based tattoos on my hands. I’ve been thinking about UV light wands and/or wrist bands that can light up the tats.

@Fadeing 7 месяцев назад

Nice and compact design with all the decorations to tie it into the look. Curious how well it'll work in the field and handle the heat from the light.

@Drakonaut 7 месяцев назад

I have seen a flashlight that can literally change to red and uv light, which would be epic for this project. Just have it change for different "purposes"

@kaig.-s.1040 7 месяцев назад

Although I'm not planning to go to an event at the moment, I think I will do a similar project for a very good friend of mine, because he's always carrying ordinary stuff in his backpack. I think these might need a little pep-up. Also he's interested in magical things, so it won't be so hard to convince him. (yes, he carries a blacklight with him) Thank you for this inspiring video.

@alo547 7 месяцев назад

Can you bring back on escaping restraints like for part 3 in more alternative way (mostly behind the back methods)? ❤ Like giving a demonstration or showing us how to break out from gorilla duct tape with hands behind the back, around the arm, legs and tape on the mouth. Also when hands being both duct taped and zip tied together etc. Using other simple objects tools to unlock handcuff etc.

@brannanvitek1035 7 месяцев назад

When I worked at an escape room, one of my favorite puzzles used a black light! The room starts almost entirely dark, with renaissance paintings all over the walls. You’re given a black light and have to find clues in the paintings! The uses for this mechanic are endless. Great video guys :)

@oakmaiden2133 7 месяцев назад

I grab a handfuf of those little paper cups from fast food condiment bars. They are perfect for small measures and mini glue/paint projects. Use n toss. Easy clean up.

@jeffreyharville1918 7 месяцев назад

now add a really special holster to hang this wand from your belt! (I can see a holster with black feathers and the outline of a crow burned or tooled into the leather!)

@SkillTree 7 месяцев назад

@Ghoulwalker1203 7 месяцев назад

i would be an absolute gremlin with one of these at a larp. i would create a huge elaborate quest for people to do, just to end it in a decipher that ends in a Rick Roll joke and maybe a bag off gummy bears XD

@SkillTree 7 месяцев назад

LOL, Love that!!!

@Codex_of_Wisdom 7 месяцев назад

One thing to watch out for with this is that UV specifically makes resin yellow. If you want the crystal yellow, cool, otherwise, a drop or two of blue dye would help offset that for a while. Or color it specifically.

@balduinvontrier128 7 месяцев назад

I've heard a (German) podcast a while ago, where they said, that this mechanic and others was developed by some folks on Epic Empires, the third biggest convention in Germany, who were unsatisfied with the state of magic in larp. Really awesome stuff. Btw.: Couldn't you just cut the baseball-stitch of this video out and reupload it as a three minute piece? The you can direct people to it the next time you use it and it comes up when people search for "baseball stitch".
