The Page of Wands shows a young person standing in desert-like barren land, holding a sprouting staff in both hands and studying it with curious eyes. The salamanders on his tunic represent the element of fire, transformation and ever-burning passion. The red feather in his cap symbolizes a free spirit and vitality, and the pyramid-like mountains behind him the new world waiting to be explored. The way he peers closely at the staff shows a pure urge to explore and test possibilities.
