《奥利凡德魔杖店》青松枝

6、Ash白蜡木

　　【白蜡木】
　　白蜡木魔杖会永远坚守自己真正的主人，不适合留给或者送给其他的人，因为这会让它失去力量和技能。如果魔杖的杖芯是独角兽毛的话，这种趋势则尤为明显。关于魔杖的古老迷信很少能够经受得住检验，但是奥利凡德认为，与山梨木、栗木、白蜡木和榛木魔杖有关的说法“山梨啰嗦，栗木懒，白蜡固执，榛木娇。”有一小部分事实。最适合使用白蜡木魔杖的男女巫师不会轻易地从他们的观点和目标上动摇不过，那些坚持尝试这种享有盛誉的魔杖的性情急躁、过分自信的男女巫师，通常会对它的效果感到失望。这种魔杖真正理想的主人应该是那些或许固执、必定勇敢，却不从不粗鲁傲慢的人。

　　【Ash】
　　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 I find 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 my 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.
