The Cosmic Strand is a crafted legendary Source that can only be created in Reaper of Souls.

To create this item, find the Plan: Cosmic Strand, which can be dropped randomly by any level 70 target, and teach the plan to the Blacksmith. Once learned by the smith, any character on your account can make as many of these as you can afford to create, though it can only be used by a Wizard.
