[Short Guide on Wand Wood]

[Blitzd]

As I had some difficulty choosing my own wand wood, even though it has no impact on the game, I thought I would post a brief guide to help other users select their wand more easily. This is based on all the different types of wand wood available in the wiki and condenses that information into a few key adjectives:

Acacia: Sensitive, tricky, underrated

Regarding wand length:
Long wands might suit taller wizxards, but they tend to be drawn to bigger personalities and those with a more spacious and dramatic style of magic. Neater wands favour more elegant and refined spell-casting. For the trule long wands (over fifteen inches, which is not available in game) they are exceptionally rare and demand some kind of physical peculiarity (malformation, etc.). However, short wands usually select those in whose character something is lacking, rather than being physically undersized.

Wand flexibility:
Flexibility or rigidity denotes the degree of adaptability and willingness to change posessed by the wand-and-owner pair.
