Wiggleworm

==Overview==
Wiggleworms are the beginnermost [[Mobs|mob]] in Potterworld. Wiggleworms are a Level 1 mob ideal for wizards and witches who are just starting their magical journey. They do not require powerful spells or [[Gear|gear]] to defeat. These creatures can be found to the west of the [[Hogsworth|Great Hall]] in a small courtyard. Their special mob drops are required in the [[Quests|quest]] [[Magical Cuisine Class]] and can be used for [[Professions|professions]].

Wiggleworms get their name because of the fact that they use their whole body to wiggle around. They have a similar appearance to regular, non-magical worms and are often seen as unimportant. However, this mob is an important part in the magical food chain due to the countless magical birds that feed off them. Because of their small appearance, witches and wizards will accidentally step on them unaware that these creatures were even in their path.

==Behaviour & Defence==
Wiggleworms are a slow-moving, neutral mob. They will only start to attack a player if attacked first.

A Wiggleworm’s diet often consists of various plants that are native to their environment. Some examples include: grass blades, dandelions, sprouts, and fallen leaves. Due to their small size, they will burrow underground if there is a rainstorm, as the water droplets are much larger than them.

Wiggleworms have a health of '''40 HP'''. They attack through contact damage, dealing '''5 damage'''. These creatures have two special abilities, both known as a spit. One of their spit abilities is a swipe attack that swipes at a player and deals '''18 damage'''. Wiggleworms can also utilise a poison spit attack, in which a worm will send a projectile of poison spit in the direction of the player, poisoning them for a short period of time if hit and dealing an initial '''18 damage'''.

Multiple Wiggleworms can spawn at a time and all crawl towards a player to attack. While these creatures are a beginner mob, they can still deal quite a bit of damage to players first starting out. Constantly moving back and forth and side to side can help a player avoid being hit by a poison spit attack.

==Habitat==
Wiggleworms can usually be found living in fields, meadows, and patches of grass throughout the magical world. On Potterworld, these creatures are found in the small courtyard west of the Great Hall in [[Hogsworth]]. Asphodel Lvl. 1 plant nodes can also be found around the courtyard.

==Defeat==
As a Level 1 mob, Wiggleworms have the chance of dropping exclusive mob drops. These drops include '''Wiggleworm Egg''', '''Wiggleworm Mucus''', and '''Wiggleworm Skin'''. Additionally, like most other types of Level 1-10 mobs, they also have a rare chance of dropping '''Lvl 1-10 Gear Pieces'''. While their exclusive mob drops are used in the quest Magical Cuisine Class, they can also be used in the crafting of profession items such as the Dark Cocoacursed Delights I, Puffing Pod Tea I, and Cursed Brew I.

Wayward Wand Disease

Fake jt: Testing perms, but also update infobox

{{Template:Infobox

|header1=Medical Incident
|data1=Wayward Wand Disease
|header2=Involved Location(s)
|data2=[[Merlin's Magical Hospital{{!}}Merlin’s Magical Hospital]]

== Overview ==
Wayward [[Wands and Casting Magic{{!}}Wand]] disease is fairly rare but highly destructive. The name was first coined in the 1700s, but the disease existed long before then. While it is easily prevented if its symptoms are caught early, it is almost certain to kill the wizard once it progresses past that stage. Unfortunately, most wizards who find themselves afflicted with the condition realise it far too late (if at all). 

== History ==
When a wizard uses a wand that belongs to another, it is usually just uncomfortable. They may find it hard to control and difficult to properly use. This is because a wizard’s wand has been fine-tuned to match their individual needs; it is the combination of the wand core and wood that provides the wizard with a tool to fully harness their magic. Thus, someone’s wand may not work properly for another wizard because each person is unique in their magical abilities. Usually, no real harm comes out of casting using another’s wand. However, if the wizard and wand are particularly incompatible, the wand may subtly lash out, hurting the wizard. Using the wand only once or twice is rarely enough to kill its user, but the symptoms grow exponentially the more times it is used. It typically starts with slight pain in the head, akin to a headache. Next, the wizard may find that their hand aches. After this, if the wizard continues using the wand, they will experience swirling, uncontrollable migraines. They will find that they are unable to sleep properly and cannot eat or drink anything without becoming incredibly nauseated. If the wizard’s symptoms have increased to this level, it is almost always too late. They will continue experiencing this until they inevitably pass away soon after. Their death typically occurs under a week after they are fully incapacitated by their symptoms.While the solution seems clear – simply stop using the wand – rarely do wizards realise the cause of their sickness until it has fully overtaken them, which is the reason for the high mortality rate.

== Modern Day ==
It is believed that Wayward Wand disease has existed since wizards began using wands. Its symptoms and theories as to what causes them have been found in records from before 500 CE, though it was only given its name in the early 1700s by a European doctor at [[Merlin's Magical Hospital{{!}}Merlin’s Magical Hospital]]. The disease went by many unofficial names before that, such as “betrayal’s magic”, “the kiss of death” and more, though these titles were mostly coined by those unaware of the true cause of the disease. While the doctor who came up with “Wayward Wand disease” is unknown, that name began appearing on medical documents and obituary reports around that time and has been used since.After it was officially named, the general wizarding public became far more aware of the disease, which helped lessen the death count. Articles were written about it in various newspapers, and doctors visited [[Magical Schools{{!}}magical schools]] around the world to educate students on the potential danger of using another’s wand. Still, considering its rarity, there will always be wizards who do not know of the disease or ignore the symptoms until it is too late. Thus, there are always a few hundred deaths every year due to Wayward Wand disease. Ever since it was officially identified, a cure for Wayward Wand disease has been searched for by many wizards in the medical community. However, they have all come to the same conclusion: once the disease has fully overtaken someone, there is no cure. Its damage is irreversible and unstoppable, taking over the wizard’s brain and body until they cannot function properly any more.

== Impact on Gameplay ==
During the newcomer [[Quests{{!}}questline]], players receive their own unique wand from Jollivander’s Wand Shop in [[Diagonal Lane{{!}}Diagonal Lane]]. Each wand is bound and cannot be switched or traded, preventing any symptoms of Wayward Wand disease.
== Trivia ==

*During the newcomer quest, players try three different wands. Due to the limited use of the wands, they do not experience any symptoms of the Wayward Wand disease.
*Some [[Events{{!}}events]], most notably the [[Winter Waltz in Togo 2023{{!}}Winter Waltz in Togo]] and [[Winter Waltz in Silvermorne 2022{{!}}Winter Waltz in Silvermorne]], have introduced other forms of magic where wands are not present. This allowed experimentation with other magic without the risk of contracting the disease.
