Page of Wands: what the card shows
A young figure in a tunic patterned with salamanders stands in a desert, holding a tall sprouting wand with both hands and studying it closely, as if wondering what it can do. Three pyramids rise in the distance and a feather curls from the Page's hat. The landscape is empty and wide open. Everything about the picture says curiosity: someone holding a new idea for the first time, excited and not yet sure where it leads.
