Wandmakers nowadays use a three-core-system invented by Ollivander to produce wands, which means they only use three materials to sell their wands.[1] In contrary Gregorovitch uses more than three.

Wand facts[]

A wand can store between 100 and 165 Merlins, depending on length and wand core. A wand tends to also perform better at certain branches of magic. When a wand channels a spell it is particularly suited to, the flamelage for those spells can up to twice as high, although that speed is rare.[2]

Priori Incantatem[]

Wandmakers usually operate with three cores only, called the three-core system. But it also results to some wands having similar cores, when facing each other, to produce the priori incantatem effect. It disallows "brother wands" with similar materials to hurt each other directly through the used spells. Instead when brother wands meet in battle they produce a priori incantatem effect that locks the wands together and produces a powerful magical knock-back on the caster that looses the subsequent battle of wills.[3]

Trace[]

Applied by any legal wandmaker all over the world. Unless the student isn't 17, the government can trace where the magic was performed and by whom, if it was a wand purchased in their country. Wandless magic in general and wand-magic under a fidelius isn't detected by the trace.

Wands[]

Wands aren't allowed to be owned by wizards and witches, until they passed their 11th birthday. Additionally all legally crafted wands get a trace until the magical person turns 17 years old. Wands were also used to identify a magical person and aren't allowed be owned by anyone non-magical or non-human.
