Augurey Tail Feather

Those who are often misunderstood, wise, ready-minded, free-spirited, and reclusive would have this wand core. Having this particular core suggests that your motives and intentions are often a mystery, are misunderstood, or wrongfully misrepresented as being of someone with a dark nature.

You are ready, willing and able to learn things, be it on your own or with the help of some loyal and trustworthy companion.

Loyalty is often a rather strong trait found among those with this type of wand core. Just as in the case of a regular phoenix feather core, this is one of the best cores for use in a wide variety of spells. Although they are can be particularily powerful in casting hexes, elemental magic, and transfiguration.

Augureys, or Irish Phoenixes, were one associated with the dark arts and its practitioners, as their cries were once thought to signify an upcoming death. (This was proven to be false as their cries predicted rain more often than death.) However, they were in reality never a strong dark core and were more accurately a powerful wand core for Divination.

These wands are most commonly found in the hands of misunderstood students and most notably those from Ravenclaw house. Regardless of this, they still bond well with students from any of the other houses.
