That's great, I needed a translator for the woods, specially, I got no idea about them, more over, I have never heard of many of them 'til now!

[Pontifex Maximus]

lol, apple is the gayest wand wood possible.

[M D]

What if someone likes apples, eh? What if they like unicorns?

[Dark Storm]

I...I want an apple wand

[Xion]

Hm...I may have to change my character's wand now.

[Agamemnon]

Ponti, I thought you were opposed to calling things 'gay'?

That said, I completely agree.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Ponti, I thought you were opposed to calling things 'gay'?

I make an exception for irony, but only irony. If someone walked up to me and called an unironic object gay I would punch them in the eyeball.

[Agamemnon]

lol

I usually only use it for irony as well, or extremely stupid things for which there are not real words to describe.

[Metaluis90]

In conclusion: Apple wands are

[Bladvak]

Abraxan hoof dust or hair: uncommon. -

wait, does this mean I can RP what Abraxan hair in a wand does? something like, better flying skills (Abraxan is a huge winged-horse), or better potency of ... uncommon spells?

[TheQueenOfKings]

I don't understand, does the wand affect the spells casted?

[TheQueenOfKings]

I mean, I know that in Harry Potter universe, wands are the most important thing in the world, but is it here, too?

[Kip]

In game terms, it won't make a difference. If two wizards' stat lines are identical, their spells will be identical, regardless of what wand cores or woods they have (despite what those descriptions above say). However, if for RP purposes you want to choose a want that fits your character's style, feel free to do so - its always quite cool to do so
