Goblin Hair

Those who are greedy, loyal, cunning, intelligent, and/or Mischievous will have this wand core. Having such a wand suggests one is prone to being possessive, even jealous of another's good fortune. Such witches and wizards are often known to be greedy, hoarding a number of things (power, money, possessions). However, they are not without redeeming traits. Though they trust few people, to those whom they do trust they are fiercely loyal and devoted, even going so far as to sacrifice their own lives for the greater good of those whom they love and/or are otherwise devoted to. Another upside (albeit sometimes a self-destructive quality to possess) owners of such a wand are remarkably driven and persistent in their endeavours. Not letting anyone, or anything, stop them in their attempts to obtain that which they desire. For these witches and wizards, like the being the core came from, it is all about profit and gain, be it money or power. It is said witches and wizards with this core in their wands often delight in mischief and trickery by use of their cunning nature, and therefore their words should be taken with a grain of salt for caution's sake (even those with honorable intentions). This is because they may take advantage of the other person in order to gain from the other's misfortune. This core does beautifully in; Charms, Hexes, and Jinxes. It also works well for Transfiguration, Levitation, The Dark Arts, Potions, Herbology, Elemental Magic (relating to earth), Writing Spells, Dueling Spells (those dealing with protective primarily), Dueling Magic, and The Logical Arts of Magic. It is predominantly seen in the hands of Slytherins, occasionally appearing in the hands of those in other houses.
