◤ 魔杖木頭 Wand Woods / 雪松木 Cedar
Whenever I meet one who carries a cedar wand, I find strength of character and unusual loyalty. My father, Gervaise Ollivander, used always to say, you will never fool the cedar carrier, and I agree: the cedar wand finds its perfect home where there is perspicacity and perception. I would go further than my father, however, in saying that I have never yet met the owner of a cedar wand whom I would care to cross, especially if harm is done to those of whom they are fond. The witch or wizard who is well-matched with cedar carries the potential to be a frightening adversary, which often comes as a shock to those who have thoughtlessly challenged them. 每當我碰到一位雪松木魔杖持有者的時候,我常常會發現他們有著強烈的性格和非凡的忠誠。我的父親,葛維斯‧奧立凡德,曾經總是說:「你永遠不可能欺愚有著雪松木魔杖的人。」而我同意:雪松木魔杖最完美的持有者有著洞察力和感知能力。我甚至願意比我父親下更多的結論說我還沒有碰過任何我願意和他們起衝突的雪松木魔杖持有者,尤其如果他們喜愛的人有受到傷害。和雪松木魔杖相配的巫師或女巫有著變成令人生畏的敵人的可能性,這常常讓沒經過思考而挑戰他們的人大感驚訝。 ◤ 魔杖芯 Wand Cores / 龍心弦 Dragon
As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental. 龍心弦魔杖比較容易被拿去使用黑魔法,但它本身並不會傾向黑魔法。它也是三種芯裡面最容易發生意外的,基於它有時候很有性格而捉摸不定。 標準來說,用龍的心弦做出的魔杖有著最強的能量,也能使用出最艷麗的咒語。龍心弦魔杖通常學習的比其他種魔杖快。它們在被贏走時會改變它們的忠誠,但是它們總是和現任的持有者有著最強烈的連結。 |
