This golden-toned wood produces wands of splendid magical powers, which finds itself at home with those possessed of immense wisdom, the warm-hearted, the generous and who understand that confrontation is not always the best path to a resolution. Possessors of pear wands are, in my experience, usually popular and well-respected. Fruit-bearing trees are symbols of nourishment, life, longevity and warmth. I do not know of a single instance where a pear wand has been discovered in the possession of a Dark witch or wizard. Pear wands are among the most resilient and tough, and I have often observed that they may still present a remarkable appearance of newness, even after many years of hard use.
