The Western wand-purchaser should dispel from their minds any notion that the pink blossom of the living tree made for a frivolous or merely ornamental wand, for cherry wood often made a wand that possessed truly lethal power, whatever thecore — though if paired withdragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind.[1]
