People have been asking how we thought up the name Kymera and where it comes from.
Well, right from the start, we wanted to give the wand a proper name
rather than a rather boring title of what it was. That is, we didn’t
really want to call it “Magic Wand” for example. The Kymera is all
about fantasy and making that fantasy real for everyone using modern
technology. I drew inspiration from the name of the sword that Bilbo
uses in Lord of the Rings, called “Sting”. It is such an evocative
name that really describes the sword and what it stands for.
For our wand we wanted something powerful and also with a meaning that
tied in with what it was. The name Kymera is a version of the more
traditional spelling of the word Chimera. This change in spelling
allows us to register the name and make it ours. As Chimera (or thus
in our case Kymera) is typically a mythical creature made from two or
more other creatures.
Two of the dictionary definitions of Chimera are as follows:
chi⋅me⋅ra (actually pronounced as we spell it with the K)
- a mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a
lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail. - an organism composed of two or more genetically distinct tissues,
as an organism that is partly male and partly female, or an
artificially produced individual having tissues of several species.
The wand is a cunning blend of old fashioned quality of ownership and
design, packed with very hi-tech modern sensors and intelligence,
hence the name Kymera.
I hope that this gives you a little bit more of an insight into the Kymera Wand.
