Wormtail used a wand afterwards to conjure ropes to tie Harry and to
make the potion. A wand is used to light the fire under the
caulderon. And I am fairly certain that he had to have a wand when he
chanted the incantation needed for the potion to work ("Bone of the
father...", "Flesh of the servant...", "Blood of the enemy"...).
Interestingly none of the above shows in the Priori Incantatem
sequence (we'd expect to see flames, ropes conjured, no?).
Perhaps he did have his own wand to perform the later spells, but
then why didn't he use it to kill Cedric?

Well, a spell that produces a silver hand shows in the PI sequence as
a hand. A Cruciatus curse is expressed as screams. Presumably we
should see either a scar - or a dead Voldemort from that AK
backfiring?
