Truth about the elder wand part 2

[These 'war rules' can also explain why the possession of the wand seems to matter in some instances and not in others. For example, let's go back to our level 8 wizard. Imagine some sneaky level 6 manages to steal the wand one night and turns around and uses it on the level 8. They duel, the level 6 thinks that it would win because it has the elder wand, and the level 8 is confident he or she couldn't be killed because it was the master of the wand.

And of course, the 8 is right. Despite not physically possessing the wand in this specific battle, the wand recognises that the 8 is in fact more powerful and therefore pledges its allegiance to him. Conversely, if the 6 ran away with the wand and used it on a group of 5s and 4s the wand would remain faithful.

So, the fact that he possess it against the 4s and 5s DID matter, but when he used it on the 8 it DIDN'T.]

"But if 6 was going up against 5s and 4s, would he have beaten them anyway, like without the aid of the elder wand?" I asked.

[Yes! He could have! And THAT is exactly the point. The only one actually WINNING when this wand changes hands, IS THE WAND!

So having said all this, let's track the wand's whereabouts and who's hands it's been through.

So, Grindelwald steals the wand from Gregorovitch. Does he overpower him or defeat him? No! but he does go on to possess and be the Master of It for 20 something years. Now using war again, this would be like if the queen broke in a stole the wand from an 8. The 8 could be like 'I never actually lost a duel, the wand still belongs to me,' but the wand in actuality doesn't care. It just wants a new powerful master.

And this is where it all becomes relevant, when Dumbledore takes to the scene. We can see him as a king grade card in war. But this battle which occurred in 1945, is the one that makes the least amount of sense as it pertains to the power of the elder wand.

Grindelwald and Dumbledore are so evenly matched that the elder wand SHOULD have given the advantage to its current possessor. And yet Grindelwald still loses. How is this possible if not for the elder wands ability to recognise that Dumbledore is just a shade more powerful?

So can you see the paradox of this wand? In the end, it offers NO extra power to the wielder other than confirming that it is the most powerful master it has met so far. BUT that could doom you if the wand determines that your opponent is naturally more powerful than you.

Once again, it's genius. If we are to believe that death himself made the wand, then we know that death's goal with the creating of the wand was to kill the first brother. And what does the legacy reputation do if not constantly invite more death and furthering death's objectives.] Drak concluded.

I was completely shocked at his description of the wand.

"So, the wand is the equivalent of a gold digger." I analysed. Drak and Achlys both burst into sonorous laughter.

"What about the whole thing with Dumbledore, Malfoy and Voldemort?" I asked. I wanted to know the process of the transfer.

[Well, we, of course, know that following future, untampered events, Dumbledore does in fact duel Voldemort who I would argue is at king status. BUT, because his soul is so badly ripped up, he doesn't have the edge over Dumbledore. He can still beat every other card, just not other kings which there are already very few and far in between, to begin with. I would say in his damaged soul form, he's a queen point nine.

But then something unexpected happened. Draco disarms Dumbledore. Which should under no circumstances ever be possible. Draco is simply trash compared to Dumbledore. The levels could not be bridged in any way, shape or form under normal conditions. I would argue he is specifically a jack.

professor Trelawney in the prediction early in the book describes the lightning-struck tower, and that the knave of spades, aka, the jack, would be involved. But here's the catch, Dumbledore isn't Dumbledore on that tower anymore. After all, he's been living with the curse given to him by the ring for almost a year by that point, which was basically the life span Snape gave him anyway. And he's still suffering from drinking the drink of despair and using all other remaining energy to get Harry out of the cave alive and safe.

So, when Draco attacks Dumbledore on the tower, he is more powerful than Dumbledore. But Draco never uses the wand. Sure, he is the current owner, but that is only until Voldemort steals it from Dumbledore's tomb.]

"What! But that…"

[That's right, when he steals it from Dumbledore's grave, HE IS in fact the Master of It. What's interesting is that Voldemort himself recognises this fact. The fact that the wand isn't doing anything for him. And that is where the secret could potentially be revealed. When it is in the hands of someone who has pushed the boundaries of magic itself. someone who stands at the apex. Only they could recognise that this wand is nothing but a farce.

But Voldemort doesn't recognise the full story. He doesn't fully understand that the wand is only a gimmick meant to troll people. Instead, he bulldozes forward with the belief that it is in fact the most powerful wand ever, and that all he had to do was tweak the circumstances. Aka, kill Snape.

Then, the wand meets Harry, the ace, which would have chosen him over Voldemort except… he didn't fight. And as a result, the wand can't make Voldemort lose yet. It is only in their final confrontation when the wand realises who its final and true master is.] he concluded.
