Tools, magical and
ordinary, made from Ash are especially productive as Ash trees are
known to attract energy. Ash people are kind and generous with a gift
for seeing what is beautiful in the world and in others. Ash people
should be careful that their romantic hearts do not lead them into
danger.
The ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed
on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and
skill. This tendency is extreme if the core is of unicorn. Old
superstitions regarding wands rarely bear close examination, but Ollivander finds that the old rhyme regarding rowan, chestnut, ash and hazel wands (rowan
gossips, chestnut drones, ash is stubborn, hazel moans) contains a
small nugget of truth. Those witches and wizards best suited to ash
wands are not, in his experience, lightly swayed from their beliefs or
purposes. However, the brash or over-confident witch or wizard, who
often insists on trying wands of this prestigious wood, will be
disappointed by its effects. The ideal owner may be stubborn, and will
certainly be courageous, but never crass or arrogant.
