The sycamore makes a questing wand, eager for new experience and losing brilliance if stunted by the same routines for too long. It is a highly prized wand wood, and it has been known to combust spontaneously if allowed to become bored. The ideal match for a sycamore wand is curious, vital and adventurous, and when paired with such an owner, it demonstrates a capacity for learning and adaptation that earns it a sterling reputation.

Approximately 2.50% of witches and wizards have this type of wand wood.
