How it's made

Source
a thin wand cut through air (turbulent shedding, pink noise) plus a magical glint: a bright struck-glass twinkle and a few tiny sparkle grains that trail behind the flick.
Body
the swish is a band-pass (Q ≈ 1.4) that sweeps from 600 Hz up to 3–7 kHz and back as the wand accelerates and decelerates; the twinkle is three inharmonic sine partials (≈ 1 : 2.4 : 3.9) around 3.4 kHz with a slight 6 Hz shimmer; sparkle grains are single sines at 4–9 kHz, each 30–90 ms long.
Envelope
the swish peaks at about 38 % of its 0.22 s, the twinkle starts at the swish peak with a 1 ms attack and a 0.15–0.3 s decay, the sparkle grains scatter over the next 0.3 s and thin out; all ends by 0.6 s.
Variation
`rng` shifts twinkle tuning (±3 %), grain pitch, timing, pan and strength; macros set swish weight, sparkle density, glint pitch and tail length.
