Magical Arts
Magic is a very powerful thing, and needs to be used and controlled very carefully. To conduct magic, a wand is needed, although it is often possible especially in young children for magic to occur without a wand. If magic is not controlled however, it is very dangerous.
A wand is the best way to produce magic, and it is the wand that chooses the wizard. A wizard can channel magic through any wand, but the best results come from a wand that has accepted its user to be the rightful user of the wand. Wands come in various shapes and sizes, with the core of the wand being made of materials such as holly, yew or even from the hair of a Veela.
