✨ What this gimmick does

This gimmick is a magic-wand particle that lets you perform every interaction with hand gestures — without using the Action Menu. It is built around Modular Avatar, and setup is applied automatically on Build or when entering Play Mode.

Important notes

• This asset uses the Particle System. Particles may not appear if Particle Limit is enabled in VRChat's graphics settings — set it to OFF.
• This asset uses interaction gimmicks. Turn Interaction (Self Interaction) ON in VRChat settings.
• Due to a VRChat spec change, your own particles are only simulated while projected in a mirror or camera. They display normally from a third-person view.
