How to say "wand" in Japanese

Choosing the right word

ステッキCommon
nounReally a walking stick or cane, typically a slender, fashionable one carried as an accessory; its 'wand' sense is secondary, so it is seldom the word you want for a magic wand.
彼女かのじょは手てにステッキをずっと持もっている。↗
She always keeps a stick in her hand.
杖つえJLPT N1approx.Common
nounThe general word for a stick held in the hand: a cane or walking stick for support, a staff, and the usual choice when 'wand' means a magic wand.
杖つえは彼かれに何なんの役やくにも立たたなかった。↗
The stick didn't help him any.

For a wand — especially the magic kind — 杖 is the usual choice, while 「ステッキ」 is really a walking stick or cane whose 'wand' sense is secondary.
