Acceptable Wand Woods and Cores

In the guild, there has been much debate over what kinds of woods and cores should be acceptable for wands. In Deliciae School, we always try to aim for being as close to the world as J.K. Rowling envisioned it as, but, when it comes to certain things, the world she imagined just didn't have enough detail.

Especially about wands.

Wand woods and cores are very limited if we base them strictly on what was mentioned in the book. So, I offer to you, the members of Deliciae School, a list of both woods and cores that we accept.

If there is a wood missing, or a core missing that you would like to add to the list, feel free to request it by going here.

This list is subject to change. Everyone, including VC's, must fill out the following form and receive a verification from a crew member if you want anything blue or above. Below you will find a color accepting status. Every now and again, blue and above will be closed from time to time if we're getting too many. Below that you will find a link to the current list of users and characters who have received permission to have those wand woods or cores.

Color codes:
Rare (we'll only let one person take this. Maybe even nobody. Permission from Kakatary or Vampire Toy required)
Uncommon (we'll let very few people have it)
Moderate (a small amount of people can have it)
Common (there are no limitations)



Blue and Above Acceptance Status

Decisions, Decisions

Picking out a wand core and wood may not be as easy as you think! There are many factors you can base the decisions on.

For example, you might have to research the meanings behind each wood to figure out which is best suited to your character's personality. Or base it on their birthday. You could look up which magical creature best relates to your character and pick the core that way. There are endless possibilities.

Normally, wands are between 7 inches and 16 inches, but there are some cases in which those measurements may be smaller or larger.

Here are some websites to check out for ideas:

(Thanks to Marguerite_Wheelwright for these!)

Beyond Hogwarts -Talks about which wood correlates with birthday. Also talks a bit about cores, wand length, and the use of wands.

The Properties of Woods -Talks about the symbolism behind certain woods.

Woods and Cores - More about the properties of wand woods and cores.

Harry Potter Wandlore- Talks about what certain woods and cores are good for, as well as what size, shape and texture have to do with the wand and owner.
