Chapter 1464: Teachings from the Wand Master
In addition to the magical core, the factors that determine the power and characteristics of a wand also include the material of the wand itself.
Mr. Garrick Ollivander told Xiao Ming that just as only a small number of humans can use magic, only a small number of trees can produce wood that is made of wand material.
The ability to distinguish wood that can be used to make wands requires years of experience. Biologically, some trees can be used to make wands, while others cannot.
However, by finding the nests of [Bowtrucks] hidden between the leaves, this task can be greatly simplified, because Bowtrucks only live on trees that can be used to produce wands.
Bowtrucks are magical animals that protect trees, mainly found in the west of England, southern Germany, and certain forests in Scandinavia.
They are green all over, with two small brown eyes, and a short body, only eight inches tall. They are similar to humanoids, with a pair of arms and several legs as thin as branches.
There are also leaves on both sides of the head, separated to the left and right, which is very cute. It looks like a small sapling that has become a spirit, and it is extremely difficult to be found hiding in a big tree.
Bowtruckles feed on insects and are peaceful and extremely shy creatures. Unless the tree they inhabit is threatened,
then they will jump down from the tree and pounce on the loggers or other people who try to destroy their homes, and dig their eyes with their long and sharp fingers.
Not to mention ordinary humans, even magicians find it difficult to deal with Bowtruckles.
Besides, it can protect the trees that can produce wand materials, and magicians can't bear to hurt them. So they thought of a way.
As long as the magician offers the earthworm to the Bowtruckle, it will be comforted for a long time, so that the magician can take wood from the tree to make a wand.
In fact, it is to bribe it with food. Of course, the magician can't be too greedy. If he goes to cut down trees, the Bowtruckle will still fight him.
Different types of trees have different characteristics when made into wands. As magicians continue to study in depth, the knowledge of this "material science" is constantly accumulating and increasing.
In general, this is a subject that requires a lifetime of study. Xiao Ming disagreed, thinking that it depends on who has a longer life.
With his nearly infinite lifespan and super mental strength, the results of the magicians' research may not be enough for Xiao Ming to learn alone.
Of course, if he also studies it himself, that is another matter. But Xiao Ming is unlikely to have such an interest. For any knowledge, he is generally satisfied with learning a lot.
Here are a few common woods used to make wands.
Holly wood is one of the rarer wand woods. It is traditionally considered to have a protective effect. It is most comfortable in the hands of masters who need help to overcome impulse and anger. At the same time, this type of wand often chooses masters who like dangerous and noble tasks.
The holly wood wand is one of the wands with the most variable performance depending on the core. Because the capricious nature of this wood has a strange friction with the transcendental characteristics of the phoenix, it is particularly difficult to pair it with phoenix feathers.
However, when the abnormal situation of holly and phoenix feathers is paired, this combination is invincible and unstoppable. Harry Potter's wand is of this type, the standard for male protagonists.
Vine wood has a more special property. The owners of this wand almost all have great ambitions, extraordinary foresight, and astonishing knowledge reserves. This is exactly what the heroine Hermione Granger said.
There is a proverb circulating in the Ollivander family: If you want to travel far, willow will help you speed up. It means that the willow wand chooses the most potential owner. Rather than those wizards who think they are already very capable.
The wand of Ron Weasley, the second male protagonist in this world, is made of willow. In addition, Harry's mother Lily also uses a willow wand.
Yew wood is a magical material. When the old outer layer of the yew tree dies, a new tree will continue to grow from the center, so it is regarded as the "immortal tree" and also symbolizes the reincarnation of the soul.
As a result, this wand is said to have the power of life and death to its owner. It has a particularly dark and fearsome reputation in the realm of dueling and various curses.
Yew wands are relatively rare, and their ideal owners are also unusual and sometimes even notorious. For example, Voldemort in the present.
The power of a wand is also affected by other factors. That is the length and flexibility of the wand.
Many wandmakers match the length of the wand in proportion to the size of the wizard who will use it. This is only a rough measure.
If generalized and not modified, this method ignores many other important factors.
Mr. Ollivander believes that longer wands may be suitable for wizards of larger stature, but they are more likely to attract people of great character and magical styles that are more deeply rooted in people's minds. Dexterous wands are more inclined to elegant spellcasters.
However, the overall factors of wand construction need to be considered in combination, and the type of wood, the wand core and the flexibility may enhance or weaken the properties brought by the length of the wand.
Most wands are between 9 and 14 inches. There are exceptions, but they are very rare.
Just to name a few examples. Harry's wand is 11 inches long; Ron's is 14 inches long; Hermione: 10 and 3/4 inches; Draco: 10 inches...
The elasticity or hardness of a wand determines its adaptability and whether it can be re-matched with a new owner after being paired with the wand owner.
However, this factor must be considered together with the selection of the wand wood, the core and the length. At the same time, the life experience and magic style of the wand owner also need to be taken into consideration.
Because while the magician uses the wand, the wand is also silently learning from the magician.
The combination of all the above conditions makes each wand unique.
Xiao Ming found that Mr. Ollivander never mentioned the shape of the wand. Although the wands in this world are the same as a baton. But there are still some differences in the subtleties.
And this difference will definitely affect the effect and adaptability of the wand. At the very least, the magician should feel comfortable holding the wand.
When Xiao Ming later told Mr. Ollivander about his idea, it also provided the master with a new idea. This is a direction that is very worth studying.
What made Xiao Ming think of this was Dumbledore's current wand - the Elder Wand.
The shape of this wand is like a bamboo stick with a few sparse hawthorns. Xiao Ming couldn't help but take a few more glances.
