#doxy cores

Laurel with doxy wings and kneazle whisker, 11", swishy.

Laurel and Doxy Wing/Kneazle Whisker, 11″, swishy.

Good core combo! Well balanced. Laurel is a decidedly honourable wand wood, though that isn’t to say it can’t be lethal if it’s wix calls for it to be. It also demands activity, which I think the Doxy core would only serve to exacerbate. Doxy cores also speak to a strong independent steak, as do Kneazle cores, and both can act out of spite on occasion, however, when this wand’s wix is called to do something based on honour, they will likely abide without question. The length and flexibility here speak of a wix of low-middling confidence and great adaptability - perhaps because of their refusal to be lazy and their tendency towards contrariness.

Elder and Doxy Wing + Fwooper Feather. 14', flexible,

Ah! See now this is a reasonable example of combined cores - not two very powerful cores which risk overpowering the wand or being too much for a wix while wasting two cores, but two weaker cores which require the bolstering strength of another to be reliable enough to cast with any strength. Wonderful! 

Now, Elder is an unusual wandwood and one which requires a similar degree of the unusual in it’s wix. Matched to the oft-malicious cheekiness of Doxies and the dangerous clever magic of Fwoopers, I could see this wand being very dangerous in the wrong hands, and with Fwooper Feather as a core there is a risk of it choosing someone who is not necessarily sane - this does not mean it might automatically do harm, many who are purported to be “sane” have done a great degree of harm both with and without meaning to. All the same, you have a very unusual wand and a very unusual wix - likely not terribly powerful but certainly not weak either. The length and flexibility here indicate someone who is, nonetheless, very confident in and of themselves and someone well able to adapt.
