I don't know, I think the idea of just using wands makes sense. Maybe not using the killing curse, but there's spells that can slice like knives and other types of projectile spells. I mean, it makes sense. As a species, we've had wood a hell of a lot longer than we've had molded metal and gunpowder.

Not that it matters, since we won't be able to use either on your little forest adventure. Speaking of which, is there anything in particular you want to find there?
