Now Jacob and Indigo's wands have their own history because both were supposed to mature before they would be worthy of using them. So their first wands 'knew' they were bound to have exciting, but short lives in their hands.

And, my favorite part, they have twin wand cores that were destined to be theirs, to be in the Silverwood bloodline and be owned by them - meaning those wands will not work for any other wizard but them.

Because the thestral that owned the hairs of which their wands possess was raised and loved by an ancestor of theirs. Their purpose of this core reigning in their family's wands was quickly smothered by superstition, nevertheless the hairs persisted throughout the years, moving from person to person until it reached their respective wandsmith.

[...] When such a pairing is allowed to happen that witch or wizard will never find a more faithful companion. This core has potent magic, and is among the most intelligent and sentient of wand cores. [...]

Owners are social, gentle with others’ feelings, and love to have philosophic conversations late into the night. They may appear morbid to friends, and have a fascination with death [...].

Their twin cores also means that even if they try to fight and hurt each other, they'll never be able to, but also means that fighting together they are stupidly powerful and can take on even the most experienced bunch.

Indigo Silverwood

1st Wand: Red Oak wood with Dragon Heartstring core, 12″, pliable.

"The true match for a red oak wand is possessed of unusually fast reactions, making it a perfect dueling wand. Its ideal master is light of touch, quick-witted and adaptable, often the creator of distinctive spells, and a good person to have beside in a fight."

Indigo had good times with her red oak wand but as the years went by, her emotions start affecting the wand's efficiency. The wand would bleed a glowing red light in moments of extreme physical or emotional pain and become extremely unstable. Instead of having Rakepick directly break it, it's her own powers, during a point of crisis, that leads to the wand's destruction.

I imagine her first wand to have a more common look to it, neat and polished, expected for a young witch in the making.

2nd Wand: Beechwood with Thestral hair core, 13", rigid flexibility.

"The true match for a beech wand will be, if young, wise beyond their years, and if full-grown, rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform very weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant. When properly matched, the beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry rarely seen in any other wood, hence its lustrous reputation."

Indigo has a hard time adapting to her new wand, it's stubborn to her spells and acts upon its own will especially considering its unusual and unstable core, Thestral hair. It might even cast spells on its own will and become impatient while she simply trains basic spells during class.

Her wand is one of a kind which is why she has to adapt her abilities to match the wand's requirements. Despite all, it's a remarkable instrument for undoing curses/spells, detecting danger, and can take the shock of stronger magic - including her Legilimency.

Her second wand I imagine to look old - very old - like it's been waiting a century or more for a suitable master. It would also have the look of a wand that was especially hard to make with subtle cracks along the shaft, yet remaining its dignity and poise with detailed carvings and metal bits

Also, at one point, in a duel, Indigo wins over Ben's wand allegiance but that's a topic for another day (:

Jacob Silverwood

1st wand (canon): Maple wood with Dragon heartstring core, 10", (hc) swishy flexibility.

"Those chosen by maple wands are by nature travellers and explorers; they are not stay-at-home wands, and prefer ambition in their witch or wizard, otherwise their magic grows heavy and lacklustre. Fresh challenges and regular changes of scene cause this wand to literally shine, burnishing itself as it grows, with its partner, in ability and status. Possession of a maple wand has long been a mark of status, because of its reputation as the wand of high achievers."

Here is JC really trying to sell us an adventurous and challenge loving Jacob and I think it's more than fair to assume that's how he was before things got serious.

I can't decide how I want it to look, so it's a mix between those two first, the third being a bit of a mix, croocked and lil swirly, looking frail yet experienced.

2nd Wand: Elder wood with Thestral hair core, 12½", unbending flexibility.

"The rarest wand wood of all, and reputed to be deeply unlucky, elder wands are trickier to master than any other. They contain powerful magic, but scorn to remain with any owner who is not the superior of his or her company; it takes a remarkable wizard to keep an elder wand for any length of time."

They have remarkable minds, able to connect or parallel two unrelated things seamlessly. Often top students, academics come easy to them. As such, their minds are somewhat under-stimulated by most academic environments. They get bored. And this boredom leads to small bouts of mischief as they like to perform small ‘experiments’ (AKA pranks) just to see what happens. Though teachers and professors may adore them, their peers often do not.

Weirdness seems to be attracted to them. Many weird events happen to them and around their vicinity. They may diagnose themselves with chronic bad luck.

To the few that have earned their respect and love (and can keep them amused), elder wand owners are nurturing and loyal to the death. They are willing to die or go to hell and back for their loved ones. (.)

This wand is made by an attempt of replicating the famous Elder Wand, though it's known that it isn't possible to simply do that, because the conditions in which the original was made and the magic used to do so also influenced in its immense power, not to mention centuries of experience and the power of the wizard controlling the wand.

Jacob buys his new wand "off brand" in Knockturn Alley - since he was officially expelled at this point - where the wandsmith uses more unusual and dangerous cores and wood.

Jacob is very skeptical when he is chosen by the wand due to its unlucky reputation, but as much as he tried other wands, they weren't as responsive to his magic while the elder one nearly vibrated in his palm - he wonders if the wand was shutting down the others' powers.

Since he spent so many year stuck in the Portrait Vault, he takes ages to fully master his wand, thought it seems to understand his feelings like no other - like in high stakes moment where his adrenaline is up to the roof, it apparently knows what spell to cast even before he thinks about it.

The wand has ombre coloration and turn reddish in moments of heavy spell casting. He later ties leather strings to the base to he can hold it firmly - something Indigo mimics from him.

Jacob also has the tendency of kepping strangers' wands he won in duels or confrontations or from dead wizards, just in case he needs a back-up.
