In <i>The Wizard of Oz</i> and <i>Pinocchio</i>, the fairies' wands are embellished with a star-shaped ornament on the end, whereas in <i>Cinderella</i> and <i>Sleeping Beauty</i>, the fairies have wands with traditional plain tips. </p><p>Magic wands commonly feature in works of <a href="/wiki/Fantasy" title="Fantasy">fantasy</a> fiction as <a href="/wiki/Incantation" title="Incantation">spell</a>-casting <a href="/wiki/Tool" title="Tool">tools</a>.
