What are Wondrous Sticks?

Theater Mechanicus Buffs

Wondrous Sticks are a gameplay mechanic in Theater Mechanicus. They can serve as Mechanici amplifiers, but can also induce high-risk, high-reward effects!

Used to Upgrade Mechanici

You can draw Wondrous Sticks during each stage in Theater Mechanicus to help you upgrade your Mechanicus, and make gameplay much easier!

They can also give debuffs!

Be wary of Ominous Sticks, because some of them will instead sabotage your machines! Each Ominous Stick is a gamble to pull, so pick them at your own risk...
