Turkey feather wand
From Twilight Heroes Wiki
turkey feather wand
Plural: turkey feather wands
The core of this wand is made from a single feather of the rare and valuable golden turkey. It's sort of like a phoenix, except instead of drawing its power from the cycle of death and rebirth, it draws its power from the cycle of terrible movies being pushed out every year.
It's an open question which one is more powerful.
