[Steam store page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/881100/Noita/) Wands hold the spells. [Patch notes, 29 October 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201029) ## Read the wand before adding spells Each wand has its own statistics. [Patch notes, 8 April 2024](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20240408) Properties to check include: | Property | Details | | --- | --- | | Capacity | The number of spell slots. [Patch notes, 29 October 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201029) The 15 October 2020 update made wand info boxes display all slots. [Patch notes, 15 October 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201015) | | Cast delay | The 15 October 2020 update added a bar that shows the cast delay if you try to use a wand during an ongoing delay. [Patch notes, 15 October 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201015) Spells can change it: when Heavy spread was added, Nolla Games described it as giving a projectile a much lower cast delay but a lot of spread. [Steam post "Noita Update #9", 24 January 2020](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/881100/view/1681466720881916632) | | Recharge | A wand value separate from cast delay. [Patch notes, 8 April 2024](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20240408) | | Mana | Spells have mana costs. [Patch notes, 8 April 2024](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20240408) The 15 October 2020 update made the mana bar appear only while a wand is selected. [Patch notes, 15 October 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201015) | | Always casts | Some rare named wands carry always cast spells. [Patch notes, 30 March 2021](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20210330) The interface lists them in an "Always casts" row. [Patch notes, 5 November 2019](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20191105) | Before replacing a combat wand, compare the new wand's mana with the mana costs of the spells you plan to put on it. ## Perks that concern wands | Perk | Details | | --- | --- | | No More Shuffle | Added on 28 April 2020.

[Patch notes, 26 September 2019](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20190926) The 28 April 2020 update blocked casting and throwing with the mouse while the inventory is open, with an option to change this. [Patch notes, 28 April 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20200428) The 30 March 2021 update made Shift+click work for auto move, let auto move send spells to the selected wand and let gamepad players drag spells with the A button.

[Patch notes, 15 October 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20201015) Modifiers act on other spells: the 30 March 2021 update let Summon Rock and other spells that summon physical objects benefit from modifiers like homing. [Patch notes, 30 March 2021](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20210330) The 28 April 2020 update made homing and other spells affect bombs and other physics projectiles. [Patch notes, 28 April 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20200428) ## Keep dangerous payloads predictable Trigger projectiles cast a further spell. [Patch notes, 20 March 2020](https://noitagame.com/release_notes/20200320) A fix on 19 October 2020 made Trigger, Timer and Death trigger spells work with modifiers.
