An exotic import from Australia, Snakewood is wandwood for the warrior. Snakewood makes not only fair wands for duellists, but also staffs which can be used with greater ease in a physical battle. Snakewood wands are often found in the hands of those who are swift-striking and cunning, though they may also find their homes with the brave and bold when bonded to Unicorn Hair, and ultimately respect reflexes and skill more than any particular set of emotions, allowing them to be easily won away if their master does not remain ever prepared. However, when well matched, they are often found in the hands of some of the greatest duellists, and especially those who maintain close, near perfect control of their temper in all situations.
