fairy wand

Magical wish-granter's tool

A fairy wand is a slender stick or rod used by fairies in folklore and fantasy, typically depicted with a star or sparkle at the tip and capable of casting spells or granting wishes.

Children's costumes and toys often include plastic fairy wands: She waved her fairy wand and declared the dog a princess.

Figuratively, a fairy wand suggests magical or effortless solutions: There's no fairy wand that will fix the economy overnight.
