With all due love and respect, I agree with one person using two such different wands is very unrealistic. Wands choose the wizard or witch, simply being in the possession of one wand does hardly a thing, the magic used through them will be mediocre (I'd recommend book 7 for further reading on wandlore, also a second glance at pottermore's relevant articles). Your character made to be a descendant of a former owner doesn't change this or play as a hack to the general rule, nor how she acquires it in what mysterious ways. She could have very well found it in a trash bin, the end result is the same. I fear your character "Lucy" might end up as a Mary Sue in the process of this over-empowerment. Great work on the art itself, however!

She isn't a mary sue. And there are special wands. A bit like the Elder Wand.

I like the external design but there are 2 things that "urk" me.
1) I wouldn't have put the stones under "core". I'd put them under "adornments" instead. You know, like the gem setting that capped the entry point the wand-maker would feed the core materials in before they magically seal and finish the wand.
2) How would 1 person currently possess 2 wands at the same time, both of which are originally from a famous founding witch/wizard of Hogwarts? Statistically, its improbable and that's before considering that each wand has a mind of their own (the magical attribute which allows the wand to choose it's wizard) and the bond between a witch/wizard and their wand, the fact that it is a natural extension of themselves and that it feels like the arm of another person while wielding another's wand. It seems impractical for the wands of two radically different owners (Ravenclaw and Slytherin) to accept the same witch as their current wielder.

Other then that- very good design.

Thanks very much that you like the design.

 But the stones are in the core - Inside of the wand. They aren't a decor or adornments. 
 The wands were inherited in the family of the founders. My four Ocs are descendants from the founders. Look at the family tree of Deevlyn- See you Godric Gryffindor?

(out of order but whatever- follow colors)
Even if it's inherited doesn't mean one witch/wizard has been accepted by and uses two separate wands. The way it's set-up implies Lucy Adcair uses two wands simultaneously.

The following comment is based off of my personal experience making wands for various uses/cosplays (Yes, I MAKE wands. I don't buy them):
If a stone was in the core 1 of 2 things happen: 1) they are tiny, maybe even numerous, stones that run the risk of damaging other core materials, especially feathers (even powdered gems run this risk because of the sharp/hard edges), or 2) the wand itself would have to be very thick to accomidate the vogel crystal formation of the stone, however thin it may be. Naturally, only quartz forms in that way but given artistic libraries one could transfix a stone into that shape or maybe even a ribbon form. (personally I don't like going down that option because it can bring way too many complications such as: 1- the magical influence could make the core materials' energy bias and thus not as effective, and 2- continuously feeding energy to such a spell would mean that killing the wand-maker would releases all their magic and thus turns the gems back in their natural state; potentially damaging the wand.)

I have also one Wand, I bought it... Severus Snape's Wand.
But two years ago I have made two wands. It was funny  

  Lucy inherited the wand. Her mother was injured and brought the newborn Lucy in a village, which was on her way. 
But the mother died and now Lucy grew in the village.
Deevlyn and Samantha meet Lucy on their flight. She is 10 and doesn't know anything of the Magic World. 
When Lucy then met Dumbledore after the death of Voldemort, he gave her the wand. 


 I understand not much of what you have written there.  I only understood that a stone would damage the wand and his content. But...when the gems are melted?

Quartz-like ^ i.e.: Crystals (Quartz, Citrine, etc.)
