The Wand Quiz
Apparently, it's a wood for clairvoyance and very suited to legilimency. Since it's flexible, it probably means I can adapt well to the weird stuff I see in my mind. My wand is also very faithful to me and dislikes dark magic.
I feel like this should belong to Merlin instead of me. Or the priestess in an RPG game.
I don't see what's the big deal but here it is.
I'm...honestly surprised by what I got.
I got Maple Wood with a Dragon Heartstring Core, 11 and a half and supple flexibility.
Maple Wood: I have often found that those chosen by maple wands are by nature travellers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands, and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lacklustre. Fresh challenges and regular changes of scene cause this wand to literally shine, burnishing itself as it grows, with its partner, in ability and status. This is a beautiful and desirable wood, and wand quality maple has been among the most costly for centuries. Possession of a maple wand has long been a mark of status, because of its reputation as the wand of high achievers.
Dragon: As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner.
The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental. Eleven and a Half inches: Most wands range from 9 to 14 inches, and those in between 10.5 and 12.5 inches are considered averagely sized. In contrast to what many think, owning a wand with average length does not mean the wizard or witch have average powers and would never triumph in life. Most accomplished figures in history of magic were paired to averagely sized wands. It is because these wands usually seek owners who control their instincts and calculate their acts, which makes them use their magic in appropriate ways.Supple flexibility: A wand with this flexibility needs a little time before it will warm up to its owner, but once it does, it will become very loyal. Once it has become loyal to an owner, it will have difficulty performing for a new owner unless that owner has a particularly dominating or forceful personality.
Acacia Wood, Dragon Heartstring Core, 14 1/2 inches, Unbending flexibility 🙂
I won't lie, it looks cool! I like simple things, I'm not really a fan of fancy looking wands, so I like that one! In other quizes I always had a wand same as Harry and Voldemort. Tbh, I'm just happy to have my own right now
I got an elm 14 1/2 quite bendy wand of unicorn hair core. Funnily enough in my own wand predictions I always think of either having an unicorn core that was somehow turned onto some degree of Dark Arts or thestral tail hair core with no in between lol.
Elm Wood
The unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for I have known perfect matches of elm wands who are Muggle-borns. The truth is that elm wands prefer owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity. Of all wand woods, elm, in my experience, produces the fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these are sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands (which, again, makes it highly desirable to those who espouse the pure-blood philosophy).
Unicorn Core
Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard. Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although the wand wood may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die' and need replacing.

Whoa, that's a long one! And I like elm being accident-proof. Seems like a handy type of wood.
My wand is made of rowan wood with a phoenix core, 10 ¾". Surprisingly swishy flexibility.
I'm a-okay with that. Rowan, beech, yew, and linden are my most favourite trees, so I'm happy that my (hypothetical) wand is made of one of those woods. And as for the swishy flexibility, it is indeed surprising. I thought I'd get a stiffer kind of wand.

Lol, thank you. I like that aspect of it too, even though I never considered any wood particularly hard so I’m much more open to any outcome that might fit. I think too that it might be an incredibly interesting of a combination together with thestral hair, due to “stabilizing” the thestral unpredictable behavior and with an unicorn core, it might give some kind of perhaps the most consistent and stable combination.
Also your outcome is very interesting, both from the point of scoring some kind of favorite of yours, but also Rowan being some kind of the opposite of elder wood to what I noticed. Cool wood to have, hence it’s also very protective and I think that combined with unicorn core, it could give even an outcome of a wand nearly impossible to perform Dark Arts.
My wand wood is Pear according to Pottermore, with a unicorn hair core. It is 12 ¼" long and reasonably supple.
