What is the difference between a wand and a rod?

Wands always have charges. Thematically, rods are more like Wonderous Items which do WeirdStuff(tm), while wands are basically limited to being stored-spell dispensers. Wands cast spells, and that's basically it. Rods can cast spells, but can also do other non-spell-specific things.

People also ask is a rod a weapon 5e?

Yes. Your DM will likely allow you to use it as an improvised weapon. An improvised weapon uses the same proficiency and stats as a weapon that it resembles. An improvised weapon that does not resemble any weapon usually counts as a melee weapon that does 1d4 damage. Is there a real magic wand? Made from real Surina wood, this wand is not plastic. This is not a fake wand, but a real magic wand. Your Merlin's Realm wand comes complete with a wand pouch, magic wand instructions and a Magic of Manifestation scroll (basic instructions on real magic).
