Sand Wand

The Sand Wand is an item that appears in Spirit Tracks.

Location and Uses
Obtained after beating three Stalfos Warriors in the Sand Temple, this tool will turn sand into solid, raised walls wherever the green orb of the Sand Wand touches. Each cube-shaped segment of the sand walls will stay intact for four seconds. Link can use it below his feet to raise himself to higher ground, as well as to roll boulders, flip puzzle blocks, trap certain enemies, find items hidden beneath sand, and allow Phantom Zelda to move across sand where she would normally sink. The wand's utility is also quicksand-proof, allowing the young hero to avoid sinking in deep-rooted sand. It is somewhat similar in appearance to the Dominion Rod from Twilight Princess, though its functionality is more reminiscent of the Cane of Somaria from.

The Sand Wand is also extensively used to solve various block puzzles in the Ends of the Earth Station located in the Fire Realm.
