WAND LIST

LIST OF CORES COMPLIED FROM WIZARDWANDS & WIZARDING REALM. PLEASE DON'T STEAL THIS LIST, IT TOOK A HELL OF A LOT OF WORK TO PUT TOGETHER. AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO POP'ART, OR THE AMAZING DI! ALL CREDIT GOES TO HER, AND THANKS FOR LETTING US USE YOUR LIST!

CORES
-- two cores per wand

• AUGUREY TAIL FEATHER: AUGUREYS, OR IRISH PHOENIXES, WERE ONCE ASSOCIATED WITH POWERFUL DARK WANDS, AS THEIR CRIES WERE THOUGHT TO SIGNIFY AN UPCOMING DEATH. HOWEVER, THEY WERE IN REALITY NEVER A STRONG DARK CORE, AND WERE MORE ACCURATELY A POWERFUL CORE FOR DIVINATIONS. MISUNDERSTOOD STUDENTS MAY FIND THEMSELVES BONDED TO AN AUGUREY WAND, ALTHOUGH THESE WANDS ARE ALTOGETHER QUITE RARE.
  
• BASILISK FANG: THE BASILISK IS A DEADLY CREATURE, KNOWN TO BE KING OF SERPENTS. POISON DWELLS IN ITS FANGS AND THE MERE GAZE OF A BASILISK CAN BRING DEATH UPON ITS VICTIMS. A BASILISK FANG WOULD BE A WISE CHOICE FOR ONE WHO HAS MASTERED THE MAGICAL ARTS AND CAN CONTROL ITS DARK INFLUENCE; THAT IS, OF COURSE, IF ONE WISHES TO CAST GOOD-WILLED CHARMS AND SPELLS. FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO CAST HEXES AND DARK MAGIC, THE BASILISK FANG IS THE CORE FOR YOU
  
• BASILISK SKIN: BASILISK WANDS ARE INCREDIBLY RARE, AS THE BEASTS ARE RARE TO BEGIN WITH AND HARD TO KILL. DUE TO THE RARITY, THEY OFTEN ARE PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, SO BASILISK-CORE WANDS ARE EITHER THE HEIRLOOM OF PUREBLOOD FAMILIES OR REFORGED WANDS FROM FAMILY CORES. THE OCCASIONAL NEW BASILISK WAND WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BOND TO A PARSELMOUTH OR BUDDING DARK WIZARD. VERY LITTLE GOOD COMES OUT OF WIELDERS OF BASILISK WANDS.
  
• BILLYWIG STINGER: BILLYWIG STINGERS ARE NOT COMMON IN BRITAIN, BUT ARE OCCASIONALLY IMPORTED FROM AUSTRALIA, THE NATIVE HABITAT OF THE BILLYWIG. BILLYWIG WANDS BOND ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY TO LIGHT-HEARTED PRANKSTERS, AND ARE EXTREMELY CAPRICIOUS- AT ONE MOMENT IT WILL PRODUCE THE STRONGEST CHEERING CHARM IN THE SCHOOL, BUT ANOTHER TIME IT WILL OBJECT TO BEING USED AS A POTION STIRRER AND SIPHON UP HOURS OF WORK WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A BY-YOUR-LEAVE.
  
• BOOMSLANG VENOM: BOOMSLANG VENOM, WHETHER CRYSTALLIZED OR IN A RARER LIQUID CORE, PROVIDES A SMALL BOOST TO JINXES AND HEXES THANKS TO ITS VENOMOUS QUALITIES. HOWEVER, WHEN A WANDMAKER UNDERTAKES THE DANGEROUS TASK OF WORKING WITH THE RAW VENOM, IT IS GENERALLY WITH THE AIM OF CREATING A POWERFUL TRANSFIGURATION WAND. WHETHER OR NOT THE ADVANTAGES OUTWEIGH THE RISKS IS NOT GENERALLY AGREED UPON IN WANDMAKING CIRCLES.
  
• DEMIGUISE HAIR: DEMIGUISE HAIRS WERE LONG CONSIDERED TO NOT HAVE ENOUGH OOMPH TO MAKE A PROPER WAND, BUT WITH THE ADVENT OF MULTIPLE CORES THEY HAVE GAINED FAVOR FOR THEIR STRENGTH IN TRANSFIGURATION AND THE SUBTLE ARTS. WHEN COMBINED WITH A STRONGER WAND CORE THEY MAKE POTENT WANDS, HOWEVER, ON THEIR OWN THEY CAN BE RATHER ONE-DIMENSIONAL AND DIFFICULT TO USE FOR ANYTHING BUT TRANSFIGURATION. THEY HAVE FOUND FAVOR IN STUDENTS OF ALL HOUSES.
  
• DOXY WING: DOXY WINGS, LIKE THE CREATURES THEY COME FROM, CAN BE UNMANAGEABLE AND MEAN-SPIRITED. THEY ARE SECOND ONLY TO BASILISK WANDS IN THEIR ABILITIES WITH THE DARK ARTS, AND AS SUCH THESE RARE WANDS ARE MOST OFTEN FOUND IN THE HANDS OF STUBBORN PEOPLE.
  
• DRAGON HEARTSTRING: A CREATURE OF LEGEND, THE DRAGON SYMBOLIZES WISDOM AND LONGEVITY. THE DRAGON IS FIERCE AND STRONG, AND WOULD MAKE A FEROCIOUS ENEMY OR MARVELOUS FRIEND. THE HEARTSTRING OF A DRAGON WOULD BE A WISE CHOICE FOR ONE WHO WISHES TO CAST EXTRAORDINARY HEXES OR DEFENSIVE SPELLS. WOULD ALSO MAKE AN EXCELLENT COMPANION TO WOODS THAT FEED OFF THE ELEMENT OF FIRE.
  
• ERUMPENT HIDE: THERE IS A VERY GOOD REASON THIS IS AN EXOTIC- ERUMPENT HIDE WANDS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND DON'T TAKE WELL TO HIGH LEVELS OF MAGIC OR SHARP IMPACTS. THEY MAY ADD A 'PUNCH' TO SPELLS WHEN COMBINED WITH A GENTLER CORE, BUT MOST WANDMAKERS REFUSE TO WORK WITH IT COMPLETELY DUE TO THE DANGER IT POSES TO MAKER AND WIELDER.
  
• FAIRY WING: THIS CORE MAKES FOR A LIGHT, AIRY WAND, AND IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOR CHARMS. THEY ALSO SIGNIFY A CONNECTION TO THE MYSTIC, SO THESE WANDS, DESPITE THEIR RELATIVE RARITY, ARE USED BY NEARLY HALF OF KNOWN WITCHES AND WIZARDS WITH THE SIGHT. DESPITE THEIR ASTOUNDING STRENGTH IN CHARMS, THEY ARE MERELY AVERAGE IN DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS AND TRANSFIGURATION, AND WILL OFTEN FAIL AT HEXES ALTOGETHER.
  
• FWOOPER FEATHER: FWOOPER FEATHER WANDS ARE SAID TO BE A MARK OF ILL OMEN FOR THE WIZARDS THEY BOND TO, AS, LIKE THE BIRDS THEY COME FROM, THEY ARE RUMORED TO SLOWLY DRIVE THEIR WIELDER MAD. DESPITE THEIR POOR REPUTATION, THEY DO WELL WITH CHARMS AND CARE OF MAGICAL CREATURES. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE A NEAR-INABILITY TO CAST QUIETUS. THEY ARE COMMONLY COMBINED WITH ANOTHER FEATHER CORE, SUCH AS THE PHOENIX FOR HEALTH OR THE HIPPOGRIFF FOR STABILITY.
  
• GRIFFIN CLAW: A MAJESTIC CREATURE OF ENORMOUS STRENGTH, THE GRIFFIN IS CONSIDER TO BE KING OF BEASTS AND BIRDS; IT POSSESSES THE BRAVERY OF A LION AND THE DEXTERITY OF AN EAGLE. THEY ARE OFTEN KNOWN TO GUARD VAST TREASURES. A GRIFFINS CLAW IS A WISE CHOICE FOR ONE WHO WISHES TO CAST POWERFUL DEFENSIVE SPELLS, CHARMS OR HEXES. IT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT COMPANION TO WOODS THAT DRAW OFF THE ELEMENTS OF AIR AND EARTH.
  
• KELPIE HAIR: KELPIE HAIRS ARE INCREDIBLY TEMPERMENTAL CORES, EXPLAINING THEIR RARITY. THEY WERE ONCE COMMON IN CELTIC WANDMAKING, HOWEVER, THE IMPORT OF DEMIGUISE HAIRS HAS RESULTED IN THEM FALLING OUT OF FAVOR. THEY HAVE SIMILAR QUALITIES TO DEMIGUISE HAIR, AND ARE POWERFUL TRANSFIGURATION CORES WHEN THEY DON'T BACKFIRE SPECTACULARLY.
  
• MANTICORE HAIR: THE MANTICORE IS AN INTELLEGENT YET FEROCIOUS CREATURE. WITH THE BRAVE HEART OF A LION AND THE CUNNING HEAD OF A HUMAN, THE MANTICORE IS NOT A BEAST TO BE TRIFLED WITH. A MANTICORE HAIR WOULD BE A WISE CHOICE FOR ONE WHO WISHES TO CAST DANGEROUS HEXES OR MIRACULOUS CHARMS. IT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT COMPANION TO WOODS THAT DRAW OF THE ELEMENT OF EARTH, AS THE MANTICORE DWELLS IN THE DEPTHS OF DARK FORESTS.
  
• PEGASUS WING FEATHER: THE PEGASUS IS A POWERFUL CREATURE OF FLIGHT. STRONG AND AGILE, THE PEGASUS IS THOUGHT TO CREATE SPRINGS WHERE EVER ITS HOOF TOUCHES THE EARTH. A WING FEATHER WOULD BE A WISE CHOICE FOR ONE WHO WISHES TO CONTROL THE FOUR WINDS OR HARNESS THE POWER OF LIGHTNING. IT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT COMPANION TO WOODS THAT DRAW OFF THE ELEMENTS OF AIR, LIGHTNING, AND WATER.
  
• PHOENIX TAIL FEATHER: THE PHOENIX IS A SACRED CREATURE BORN OF EARTH AND FIRE. PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST ANCIENT OF FIREBIRDS, THE PHOENIX IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST MAGICAL CREATURES, ALSO THOUGHT TO POSSESS HEALING POWERS THROUGH ITS TEARS. THE TAIL FEATHER OF A PHOENIX WOULD BE A WISE CHOICE FOR ONE WHO WISHES TO CAST PROTECTION SPELLS OR LASTING CHARMS. IT WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT COMPANION TO WOODS THAT DRAW FROM THE ELEMENT OF FIRE AND WATER.
  
• SERPENT SCALE: THE SERPENT IS A MYSTICAL CREATURE OFTEN MISREPRESENTED IN LITERATURE. DANGEROUS AND STEALTHY, THE SERPENT WAS SUMMONED TO GUARD AND DEFEND ANCIENT TEMPLES OR PLACES OF POWER. THEY HAVE THE POWER TO HEAL, POISON OR PROVIDE EXPANDED CONSCIOUSNESS, WHICH WOULD MAKE A WISE CHOICE FOR ONE WHO WISHES TO BREW POTIONS OR CAST DEFENSIVE SPELLS. A SERPENT SCALE WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT COMPANION TO WOODS THAT DRAW OFF THE ELEMENT OF EARTH AND WATER.
  
• UNICORN HAIR: THE UNICORN IS A CREATURE OF MYSTERY AND BEAUTY. GENTLE YET POWERFUL, ANCIENT YET PURE, A STRAND OF ITS HAIR IS A WISE CHOICE FOR ONE WHO WISHES TO CAST HEALING AND PROTECTION SPELLS. IT HAS LONG BEEN THOUGHT THAT UNICORNS PROTECTED THE FOREST CREATURES, NURTURING AND OVERSEEING PLANTS, FLOWERS, AND TREES. THIS CORE WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT COMPANION TO WOODS THAT DRAW FROM THE ELEMENT OF EARTH.
  
• VEELA HAIR: VEELA WANDS ARE TEMPERAMENTAL LIKE THE CREATURES THEY COME FROM, AND ARE CONSIDERED TOO VOLATILE FOR A DECENT WAND CORE IN MANY CIRCLES. HOWEVER, SOME WIZARDS, PARTICULARLY THOSE WITH VEELA BLOOD, ENJOY THE BOOST IT GIVES TO OUTDOORSY MAGICS, DIVINATIONS, AND CHARMS.
