Y'all are talented. And y'know what, so am I!
Is it one of the gesture-responsive universal TV remotes, or just a fancy stick?

This is so PEAK 😭
I think they are just fancy looking pieces of plastic, though there a wand that can float (on a magnetic book) and another that can shoot fireballs (dunno how).
Btw, the conversion is 1 galleon= 4.59 pounds according to the internet, so it's around 65 pounds per wand.
this made my day. now i this need someone to make a Omake of this getting on PHO.
PLASTIC?????????!!!!!!!! That's crazy, actually insane
No I also thought that you lot were talking about conversions between Harry Potter money and other money.
Remind me how Linker Cores work again?
Something, something energy around you, something, something dimensional sea, something, something energy linked to make mana. They also have the useful feature of saving spells. It is also possible to make artificial ones.
They are also a pseudo organic organ found in mages within the Nanohaverse. And can be taken out of via magic as well in what looks to be a painful practice.
Kind of like Magic Circuits from the Nasuverse. Just not located along certain certain regions of the body like a secondary nervous system. And is instead more like the gallbladder to allow for the storage and release of magical energy.

So like the bile sac witches have in The Owl House?
Actually yes! That is a very good comparison to be honest.
They can be removed, possibly regrown, and is what allows them to use magic. Just that a Linker Core is not a physical thing like a Bile Sac, but a more 'spiritual' organ instead. And they can be damaged through heavy straining and usage as well.
Just look up Nanoha and how she fucked herself up multiple times by going overboard with her Magic. Girl literally is a example of going Plus Ultra in a fight before MHA was a thing.
Alright well then based on this information livers should also be possible to cast magic with since they're organs.
If you want information on other things that could be used to cast Lyrical Nanoha magic then you'll need to specify other things about how Nanoha magic is cast and how Linker Cores and Devices work.

Actually resin, which may as well be fancy plastic.
So the Dantians to Fate's chi channels.
…
If they are used to store magic, and they can be extracted/inserted through some form of surgery…
Well, Joe can easily make things "Bigger on the Inside". Unlimited Power!
Okay then, how about this to help explain things.
A linker core is a organ that helps channel, store, and manifest magical energy for various effects. It is possible to engrave, remove, and transplant them. With a transplant being used to create a Familiar that is connected to the mage. Now magic can be used in multiple different styles but in the Nanoha Universe, they are usually used with a Device.
Also, most Mage's ranks in the Nanoha Verse rate the quality of the Linker Core to determine what Rank you are.
A Device, which can come in multiple forms, are tools used to allow for easier casting of magic. A wand from the Potterverse would be considered a archeic device to the TSAB for example.
Most Devices use connections that are from synchronization with said device, higher sync rate means a better usage, to have a built in computer to cast spells. Most people use what are called 'Storage Devices' which are more common and have low intelligence but high speed processing. Then there are weapon based ones with a special magazine system called "Armed Devices' that are meant for combat. They are a middle ground when it comes to processing processing speed and intelligence.
Next, there are Inteligence Devices. These are Devices that have full on AI support and can make requests or even act to defend their wielders when said mages are unable to do so. And finally, there are also Unison Devices. The most powerful form of Device it can be argued. These are fully sentient, self aware, and fully sapient like a living person. Beyond being able to cast magic themselves, they can fuse with their partner and augment their wielders mana control and other forms of assistance. They take the appearance of living people that can change sizes, fly, and are practically living people.
And before anyone asks about the 'magazine' system that Armed Devices have, and can be found in some Intelligent Devices, here is what THAT does. Each magazine holds multiple rounds, yes they can look like bullets, that hold excess magical energy that can be added to the casters spell at will. But at the risk of damaging their Linker Core as seen by Nanoha Takamichi multiple times.
They are also what cast the spells apparently. What you do when you cast a spell is set up the math for the spell, then send it to the core which then does the thing. Which is pretty weird when you think about it.
The core:
A: Creates and contains mana.
B: Acts as storage for the formulas for the spells.
C: Controls the mana to cast the spells.
D: Regrows just fine within a few days after being completely removed. It even keeps the saved spells.
At this point I'm actually kind of surprised they don't also do the math. Would it really be that hard to fit a calculator in there?

IIRC there's wooden ones too, but then those ones are closer to $100.

Reminds me, I think some of the actors for the movies just nicked their wands from the set as a souvenir. Like Lucius Malfoy.
And also Daniel Radcliffe apparently played around with his wands between shots so much that he was going through them like Anakin Skywalker goes through lightsabers, though the prop master never bothered to tell him that so he was quite surprised to learn about it after the fact in recent years.
Point C is more along what the Devices do along with the Caster themselves. They are pretty much fancy calculators that allow them to better use their magic spells while flying.
And to help them teleport.
And summoning so you don't find yourself up a dragon's ass somehow or in the middle of a giant, alien jelly fish.
Can't forget helping to path the road you are creating while going around on magitech powered roller skates.
That's the thing though, the wiki seems to treat the fact that the linker cores is what controls the mana as the most important part. Sure, the device and mage are the brain that tell it what to do, but the core is the body that actually does it. It seems to be that if you had a linker core separate from a mage's body and some way to input the math it would still work. Which is crazy.
The trick with the Nanohaverse is that mana (magical energy) there comes in pseudoparticle form, like light has photons, and more importantly the particles come in a variety of types that interact with each other to produce effects. All of which is just a natural feature of the energy, not something humans do.
Linker cores are a part of the physiology of some humans and allow one so endowed to "link" mana into complex structures to perform complex effects.
But because the particle interactions are "natural" and mana is just another form of energy, machines can absolutely do exactly the same thing. Nanohaverse mages almost never cast spells on their own; they use artificial aids to assist them, typically by remembering the fomulae for the spells they cast which are represented and taught as complex equations or algorithms.
Which also means Apeiron could make masterwork Devices that never fail and respond at insane speeds (the primary drawback of a Device is the lag between you wanting to cast and the spell actually getting cast).

That is what they call a "brain" - a separate organ that some mages are also blessed with. Witness ferret-boy himself, the only Mage who was never shown to use a device but can match the main protag spell for spell, at least at first, before being Noticed and assigned to curator of the Infinite Library (not actually infinite, or a library) by the government because brains are the rarest magical organ of all.
Unison Devices have fully independent artificial linker cores and an AI mind to drive them. As far as anyone can tell, the need to be bound to a human mage is entirely arbitrary and artificial. But no-one has the design specs for UDs anymore.

Human brains are actually pretty bad at most forms of math. There's a reason why the comparatively simply and low processing power calculator can do it basically instantly. I remember something about there's no one part of the brain dedicated to math and that's part of why it takes active thought most of the time. The human brain is basically optimized away from math.
Anyway, it's entirely possible to create artificial linker cores that are in no way inferior to naturally occurring ones. Implanting them also doesn't seem to be a problem. Which means Aperion should be able to make some super divine mythic grade infinity plus one core that improves over time, then easily implant it in someone.

The fact that they can actually improve is a big thing right there.
You cannot train a linker core to be bigger. You can improve your Device, add spells through studying, but not improve the mana amount it can have. Your rank, which like I said earlier, is determined by how your Linker Core is rated. And if you can improve your Linker Core..
Well Solo Leveling gives a good idea of what that can lead to if I remember right.

The only bullets gimmick magic I will ever accept is this chuuni beauty:

He went through so many of them that the propmaster made him one made out of rubber. That he ended up losing all the time.
"Whoa whoa whoa, you can think!? Do you have any idea how rare that is!?"
