Yes. A 16 inch wand. "They also increase or decrease in values of 1/4 an inch." Got it? Yeah. "Anyways, their are three basic factors if you will, that the wand length relates to. There can be more of course, however these are the most basic ones that the foundations rest upon. The height of the wizard, the length of the forearm, and finally the wizard personality." Scabior pulled out his wand from it holster, and gave a flick toward the board, writing the four factors down before he held his wand up to show the class.

"My wand, right here is 10¾. Practical for me. For anyone else? Maybe not. Now, I can guarantee you that at 11 years old, when I got this wand, my forearm was not as long as this wand." No. And he was fairly normal for an 11 year ol. "And obviously I was not this tall." A six foot tall 11 year old? Yeah..right. "So you might be wondering what is the point then that my arm was measured then? Well the height and size of the wizard has a direct relationship with their perfect wand. The relationship is of a magical nature and more about finding the right balance of characteristics than a particular size of wand. So the measuring of the height and forearm and more about balance rather than about size." Was he making sense? Hopefully. All the points really did just tie together.

"Now, the actual magical balance of the wand. That is a little more difficult to understand but simply put it refers to balancing the relationship between the core, the wood and the quality." He wasn't going to linger on this. But he did expect everyone to write this down.

"And lastly, the wizard or witches' personality. Generally, if a person is outspoke, loud, and has a really big personality, their wand length will tend to be longer than others. And if they are more shy, quite, or even maybe missing something in their life, their wand will tend to have a shorter length." He looked around the class. Were you all writing? You better be. "However nothing is guaranteed. A person could very well have a big personality and a short wand, because that is just how the balance of the wand works." He was slightly worried that people would be confused. "Just remember height and forearm measurements are about finding balance, while your actual personality determines the length of the wand however these two might butt heads resulting in like a shorter wand for a more outspoke person."

Wand length? Check.

"Any questions so far?" He paused, waiting for a second as he looked around the room. The length was probably the most complicated part of the wand. "Anyone know the reason as to why we need a core for our wands?"

Tori had a good guess! Yay! She wriggled around in her seat happily before she recognized the onset of a full-blown lecture, judging by Scabior's tone. The girl readied her parchment and quill and starting jotting notes down the instant he started talking.

So, wand length was kinda proportional to personality, height, and the length of the forearm. Totes magotes what she had said. No questions from Tori, cuz this was pretty common sensical.

Now then. "The magic and like, power of the wand is contained inside the core, professor," Tori answered with a flip of her hair. "It just like completes the wand!" Duhhhhh!
