Phoenix
This is the rarest core type. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.
Phoenix feather wands are always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken is one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands are the hardest to tame and to personalise, and their allegiance is usually hard won.
Ash
The ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and skill. This tendency is extreme if the core is of unicorn. Old superstitions regarding wands rarely bear close examination, but I find that the old rhyme regarding rowan, chestnut, ash and hazel wands (rowan gossips, chestnut drones, ash is stubborn, hazel moans) contains a small nugget of truth. Those witches and wizards best suited to ash wands are not, in my experience, lightly swayed from their beliefs or purposes. However, the brash or over-confident witch or wizard, who often insists on trying wands of this prestigious wood, will be disappointed by its effects. The ideal owner may be stubborn, and will certainly be courageous, but never crass or arrogant.
To add more to my awesomeness, I was sorted into my dream house: Ravenclaw. ♥ I have always wanted to be a Ravenclaw. I never wne through a Slytherin/Gryffindor phase. It was always Ravenclaw since the beginning. And you can imagine my joy. I seriously jumped for joy because of this. Imagine it: I've been dreaming of becoming a Ravenclaw since I was 10 or 11 and now, I have proven myself worthy. My heart is happy :')
And that, my friends, is the highlight of my day/night.
Please stay safe everyone? The storm is really scary. :S
