A charming wand, if you'll pardon the phrase; see the pale pink blush and the darker streaks in the wood?" It wasn't ever really about which wand looked nicest, but you had to admit, an attractive grain could be a real plus, depending on the customer. "A wand that's perhaps a little more on the, ah, quirky side, but dogwood has been known to perform outstanding spells under difficult conditions. However, it has a tendency to refuse to perform non-verbal spells, and its spell work is often noisy, flashy, and otherwise playful." Fun... though perhaps not ideal. Still, non-verbal magic wasn't the be all and end all. "One thing that might interest you: dogwood owners tend to be lucky, and these wands are perfectly capable of serious magic when needed. Now, wands with this core - phoenix feather - are definitely capable of a great range of magic, but can take a while to master, so don't get discouraged if you have a little trouble there at first. These wands have great initiative, but they're a little picky, and their allegiance is hard won. Once you manage it, however, they are powerful, versatile cores. Defence Against the Dark Arts is likely to come easiest to you with this wand, and hexes and jinxes are often the easiest spell-type for these cores to master."

All things considered, it was actually a very interesting combination for a wand. The quirky, mischievousness nature of the dogwood when combined with the serious, aloof detachment of the phoenix. Definitely one of those 'fun zone' wands.

" That is absolutely fascinating and wonderful to find out it will help me with pranks. She said with a pleasant smile.
