Hi! I think it would be really great if wandlore were added to the server. Key elements of wandlore would include testing, materials, and effects.

Some of my suggestions for this feature would be as follows:
When a newcomer purchases their wand, they could take a test, similar to the sorting quiz. The test would determine certain attributes (similar to the wand test on Pottermore) such as wood and core.
Furthermore, these attributes would affect spellcasting and other gameplay features. These would correspond to Pottermore descriptions. For example:
- A wand made of black walnut might upgrade all charms
- A wand with a dragon heartstring core might increase damage
- A wand made of holly might increase quest rewards
- A wand with pliant or whippy flexibility could be dropped with the Q button
- A short wand might reduce cast time

And so on!

If a player's beliefs and opinions change, or they feel they have gone through noticeable change or development, they may choose to retake the wand quiz and find a wand better suited to them.

I feel that adding meaningful wandlore would enhance the experience of the individual player, as it offers customization based on personality and character. Furthermore, it would definitely increase the value of one's wand wood and core, as most players regard it as insignificant and, in some cases, even is a point of distress (I've known someone who was rather unhappy that their wand core was a troll whisker).

I like this idea a ton! This would be really fun as its more customization and personal lore you could get into as a player. And the side of affecting gameplay would go well with the server's current direction with Revelius. It seems very much in the same spirit. Definitely hoping head staff will consider these ideas and make changes like this :eek:

A test sounds really fun, although conversion for players with already-owned wands might be not an option. I'd love to see more customization based on what kind of wands we have! Although, I doubt the wand abilities would be added, as it would provide an unfair advantage in gameplay to certain wandholders. Overall, lovely idea! :D

This is a very cool idea, but as Lizzie said, the wand features could create an unfair advantage, but if they change that, I love this idea! Super cool

I love the idea of the customization, because it gives more purpose to the wands. I feel like the wand abilities idea might provide an unfair advantage, as Lizzie said. Besides, it will take a while for the newcomer to figure out which play style/magic abilities suit them, and having a wand with a special ability might force them to adapt their play style pretty early instead of exploring different options on their own (such as the black walnut wand forcing its user to mainly use charms). I also think that it will result in players retaking the quiz to get the best possible wand, instead of having a wand that matches their personality. Overall, I love the idea of the quiz but I'm not really certain on the wand ability idea

Hello,

After further discussion, we are very happy to inform you that we liked this idea! We believe adding wand traits is a great idea. It allows for more of a personal customisation to a player's wand and is just overall a fun aspect. However, we are unsure when this will actually be completed as there is a lot of back-end challenges with this. We plan to add this feature in the foreseeable future! Make sure to keep an eye out for any updates!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a suggestion! It generally means a lot to us!
