Relatively new amongst the woods used to craft wands, Sycamore make questing wands, eager for new experiences and losing brilliance if engaged in mundane activities. Some of Sycamore’s properties are as yet unknown. However, it excels at divining, and certainly excels in Divination, Arithmancy, and Ancient Runes. It is a quirk of these handsome toned wands that they may combust if allowed to become “bored,” and many witches and wizards, settling down into middle age, are disconcerted to find their trusty wand bursting into flame in their hand as they ask it, one more time, to fetch their slippers. As may be deduced, the Sycamore’s ideal owner is inquisitive, vital, adventurous, vivacious, and may even be considered odd, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity to learn and adapt that earns it a rightful place among the world's most highly-prized wand woods.
