Unicorn Tail Hair

"Symbolizes Innocence and Purity. Those who are full of spirit, sweet, gentle, cheerful, value family and friendship, are dependable, laid back, humble, independent, caring, loyal and/or duel-natured (being of both good and bad) would have this wand core. Having such a wand core suggests that you are optimistic and free spirited but also loving and kind-hearted, with strong family values. Unicorn Hair cores are an incredibly love-centric wand core and often instill encouragement and confidence into their owners.

This is the best common core to have for Elemental Magic concerning Water spells and Earth spells. Unicorn Hair cores generally produce the most consistent magic, and are least subject to fluctuations and blockages.

Wands with Unicorn Hair cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts (in contrast of those with Unicorn Heartstring) and are the most faithful of all wands. They usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.

Minor disadvantages of unicorn hair cores are that they do not make the most powerful wands (although depending on the wand type, the wand wood can and may compensate) and that they are prone to melancholy if seriously mishandled, meaning that the hair may 'die’ and thus will need replacing.

In a combination core, it is not recommended that a unicorn hair core be paired up with a Dark core as the Dark core will likely 'kill’ the other. Unicorn Heartstring cores however will pair nicely with another Dark core. However it should be noted that not all Dark cores can pair nicely with Unicorn Heartstring, despite both being Dark.

Unicorn Hair cores are a more subtle wand core, but are quite compatible with Charms and Transfiguration. This wand core is also hands-down the best core for Healing, as they pick up some of the healing capabilities of Unicorn Blood, which is found in Potion Making. Unicorn Hair cores have a reputation of picking gentler or more cerebral users, so they are common among Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws. Uncommon, but not unheard of, Unicorn Hair cores can and will pick an owner that is less gentle and cerebral, depending on the wand type they are bonded to. More laid-back Gryffindors and subtler Slytherins may find themselves with a Unicorn Hair core."
