Wand Dependant (10 HPs Drawback)

All rituals halve their RAPs if cast with a leased wand and divide RAPs by 3 if casting them without a wand at all. This Drawback is quite common to all wizards in the Harry Potter world, either human or half-giant. House elves and gnomes are not allowed to carry wands.
