hello, friends. re wands for the wandless, i've gotten hold of 5 from my friend in brazil, whose accompanying notes i've pared down for easy reading.
Guarana wand, caipora hair core. Guarana is a huge source of caffeine & caiporas are mischievous spirit-beings, so this wand is probably going to be a fun one that neither of my twin brothers are allowed to even handle.
Paubrasilia (or "brazilwood"), unicorn tail core. The wood is highly prized by musicians, and its wands do best in the hands of creative types.
Jacaranda tree, crystallised fire slug slime core. Excellent for transfiguration.
Tipuana tree, Peruvian Vipertooth heartstring core. A powerful wand that does best when paired with someone who likes to duel. Conflict emboldens it.
Bahia rosewood, curupira hair core. A steady, sturdy wand. Apparently very good at defensive magic.
i've got a few contacts in japan and russia who i'm waiting to hear back from, but we should have more to distribute soon. i'm away until wednesday, but when i get back, i can start talking to the folks who need their stolen wands replacing so we can start pairing them up.

pack for a two night stay somewhere away from here, and plan for an early morning tomorrow.
