Sand Wand

The Sand Wand, also known as the Sand Staff, is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. The Sand Wand raises solid ground out of a soft sand patch and is found in the Sand Temple. Link can raise sand situated directly under his own feet to get a boost up to a higher level or to create a path for the possessed Phantom Guardian to cross (it normally sinks in sand), provided it is on the same height as the raised sand cubes. Raised sand can be used to move objects such as large rocks and can stun some enemies that live in sand. It can also unearth Rupees, and in the Sand Temple, a Small Key and a Boss Key. This item functions similarly to the Dominion Rod, which also launches a ball of green light.
