He gave a small chuckle. "Completely understandable, but not to worry. I'd not told you yet." Always saved that part until last; more fun that way. And, seeing as the moment had arrived...

"This wand is twelve and a half inches of pliant alder, with a unicorn hair at its core," Zeke said, giving a small nod towards the wand in question. "Alder wands are loyal, steadfast companions, and is the best suited to non-verbal magic. Something that may come in handy when you reach that part of your magical education in sixth year or so." Though, of course, a lot of it did also come down to the aptitude and the hard work put in by the witch or wizard in question. All the same, that attribute did bolster the alder wand's reputation of being suited only to the most advanced witches and wizards. "Alder also has a useful attribute in that it protects against drowning, plus it's well suited to all elemental magic, so, fire, water, earth, and air spells. It provides a boost to shielding and protective magic, and those with an interest in potions tend to get on well with these wands. Now, as to the core, unicorn hair wands are very faithful to their owner. Very few blockages or fluctuations occurring in the magic they produce. With this core, the wand is also well suited to charms and transfigurations and is excellent for healing spells, but more difficult to turn towards the Dark Arts." No speculations, no judgements, just general wand advice he'd give to anyone sold a unicorn hair wand. The same advice he himself had once received, in fact. "You'll find this core is more in tune with subtle and delicate magic as opposed to flashes and bangs. Generally, not necessarily a hugely powerful core, but very consistent, and very reliable. You should get along very well with this wand."

"Oh thank you ever so much sir. This is a phenomenal tool for a new wizard. I'm sure it will serve me well." Xerxes said to the Wandmanker. "I will take my wand over the counter and pay forthwith. Have a great day and blessed be"
