Wand Care
If you fail to look after your wand its power will begin to diminish...
Of course, a wand should be used and admired, but everyday use will take its toll, especially if yours has a lustrous finish. Therefore, your wand will require a little pampering from time to time to keep it in tip top condition. Thankfully this is something even a trainee sorcerer can manage. How? With the simplest of methods... POLISHING!
Many people, especially students, may simply rub their wand on their robes. A quick-fix perhaps, but this will not provide lasting protection. Also, this method is not without risk, as you are in great danger of setting your robes on fire! The best method is to use a 'wood finishing cream' or wax polish as this will give lasting protection and restore your wand's lustre. Apply a small amount of wood cream or wax to a soft cloth or sponge and gently massage the wand with the grain. Let it work its magic for at least 5 minutes and then it's time to buff. Use a clean polishing cloth to achieve the most agreeable appearance. That's it... happy wand, happy you!
Wand Handling
Improper handling of your wand may lead to injury, accidents and wand-breakage. It is vital that you follow Willbott’s wand safety tips:
-
Always hold your wand by the handle. Accidents are likely to occur should you be careless. You are also endangering your wand and yourself.
-
A wand is not a sword. Avoid participating in non-magic duelling. Your wand will lose respect for you.
-
A wand is not a back-scratcher. Use spaghetti spoon like everyone else.
Your wand is your lifeline in the magical world - if you mistreat it, it might just return the favour.

rules for safe carriage:​
​
-
Do not store your wand in your back pocket - you risk serious snappage and potential buttock-splinterage.
-
Do not store your wand in a loose or shallow pocket where it is likely to fall out and get lost.
-
Do not insert your wand nasally, even if you are blessed with accommodating nostrils.
