A very unusual wand wood, acacia creates tricky wands that often refuse to produce magic for any but their owner, and also withhold their best effects from all but the most gifted. This sensitivity renders them difficult to place, so only a small stock is usually kept for witches and wizards of sufficient subtlety, as acacia is not suited to what is commonly known as 'bangs-and-smells' magic. When well-matched, an acacia wand matches any for power, though it is often underrated due to the peculiarity of its temperament.

Approximately 4.00% of witches and wizards have this type of wand wood.
