whaddaya think some of the noah's wands would be?? whoever u feel up to doing. d'you think for Symbolism allen & the earl's wands would be the same?
Hello!Ohhh, I hadn’t thought about the Earl just yet! I think there would be a link between his wand and Allen’s though(perhaps through the phoenix feather core?). I don’t think they would have the same wood though – aspen is a wood Ithink Neah would be more likely to have. I did a few of the Noah for you, along with the Earl though! ^^TykiMikkChestnut, dragon heartstring, 13 inches, highly flexible.“This is a most curious, multi-faceted wood, which varies greatly in itscharacter depending on the wand core, and takes a great deal of colour from thepersonality that possesses it.” (Pottermore)
The fact that Chestnut is a multi-faceted wood is what caused me to immediatelythink of Tyki. We know that Tyki hasboth a dark and light side (thoughsometimes they appear to be in conflict), and I think this type of wand wouldadapt well to that. Also, when pairedwith dragon heartstring as a core, this type of wand is commonly paired withindividuals who are fond of luxury andmaterial things, regardless of how they are obtained. Although Tyki is not someone I would exactlycall materialistic, it’s important to note that he is the Noah of pleasure – and pleasure often comesfrom sensory indulgences.As mentioned already, the dragon heartstring core was one I gave to him becauseof the affinity it can cause for luxurious and pleasurable things. I also think Tyki struggles with theexistence of Joyd, as he is one ofthe Noah who hasn’t fully allowed that self to awaken yet (and those with adragon heartstring core can be weaker when it comes to the darker arts –however, I DO think a phoenix feather could work as a potential core for Tyki.It’s a close call in my mind).RoadKamelotCherry, dragon heartstring, 10 inches, flexible.“…For cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power,whatever the core, but if teamed with dragon heartstring, the wand ought neverto be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength ofmind.” (Pottermore)Cherry suits Road. This is a wood thatrequires strength of mind and self-control, of which Road is definitely capableof. Despite being incredibly sadistic, Road can keep her composure when the situation is dire orcalls for it. This is also a fittingwood, in that it is frequently mistaken as a more “ornamental” wood – whichcauses people to drastically underestimateits power (and Road, being the tiny and deviously cute individual sheis, has probably been underestimated before).Dragon heartstring is the core I ended up giving Road, mainly because asmentioned in the above quote it is a lethalcombination with cherry wood. I can’tenvision Road having anything less.SherilKamelotElm, Phoenix feather, 13 inches, flexible.“Of all wand woods, elm, in my experience, produces the fewest accidents, theleast foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these aresophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands(which, again, makes it highly desirable to those who espouse the pure-bloodphilosophy).” (Pottermore)Sheril’s human life consists of him being in foreign affairs and a morepolitical environment, so I imagine he would possess a wand with a wood that ishighly refined and sophisticated. Sheril is also quite manipulative, so it makes sense to me that his wand would be madeof a wood that would be less likely to produce errors. A wand that allows for craft and carefulplanning would be of great use to him.Phoenix feather seemed to work the best as his core. I think when paired with elm, it would be apowerful wand. The allegiance of a phoenix feather is difficult to win over andcan be rather picky in choosing a wielder, but I feel it would work for Sheril.
WiselyKamelotSilver lime, unicorn hair, 10 ½ inches, rigid.“The reasons for these wands’ desirability lay not only in their unusuallyhandsome appearance, but also because they had a reputation for performing bestfor Seers and those skilled in Legilimency, mysterious arts both, whichconsequently gave the possessor of a silver lime wand considerable status.”(Pottermore)
Wisely would do well with a silver lime wand. Given that Wisely is so skilled in tapping into and playing withpeople’s minds, I can’t think of amore appropriate wood for his wand than one that is beneficial for assistingwith clairvoyance and legilimency. Unicorn hair is a core I also think would be appropriate for Wisely. It mightnot be the most powerful core, but Wisely isn’t a fighter type. This core is also the least subjected tofluctuations and blockages, which will certainly come in handy for Wisely. MillenniumEarlYew, phoenix feather, 13 ½ inches, mild flexibility.“The wand of yew is reputed to endow its possessor with the power of life anddeath, which might, of course, be said of all wands; and yet yew retains aparticularly dark and fearsome reputation in the spheres of dueling and allcurses.” (Pottermore)
After going through the different woods, yew felt like the most fitting for theEarl. The possessor of a yew wand canoften be viewed as a notoriousindividual, and there is a close association with this type of wood and death. This comes not only from the speculation that the wielder of a yew wandwill be adept of performing curses and tied to the powers of life and death,but also with the lore that wielders buried with these wands will have yewactually sprout from the graves to protect their corpses. This wood is not intended for a timid individual by any means, andthose who wield yew wands are known to be highlyprotective of their families. Whilethis can be challenged with the Earl’s relationship to Mana, Neah, and Allen,there is still the issue of how protective he appears to be of Road and theother Noah.Hands down, the Earl’s core would be a phoenix feather – and possibly a featherfrom the same phoenix of which Allen’s core came from. Thanks for the ask! <3
