    In canon wand lore, we know that ownership is conferred after being bested in battle. Since it was willingly given up, even under duress, it wouldn't qualify under canon rules.

    However, it's worth noting that those rules are for traditional wands and the Elder Wand when it is by itself. We don't know if the rules are any different for the Master of Death, since possession of the three hallows seems to have greater meaning. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts and all that.

    IIRC the 'canon' for Harry before going to the Avengers-verse wasn't actual canon. He wasn't married to Ginny and didn't have kids. So it's quite possible that this story is ignoring a lot of the wand-ownership bullshit.

    tbh according to the lore, the wand just prefers stronger people, so if it sees someone as stronger than Harry. (like say a god) it would jump ship immediately.

    Though one could argue that by becoming MoD, Harry has tamed the wand and won its loyalty.

    I don't see how that's part of the lore? I recall nothing in the books dictating that and the wand not bending to Voldemort's will while either Snape or Harry were its master seems to contradict it.

    I would like to say, in my defense, that it keeps referring to wizards - aka people who can wield it. The Elder Wand doesn't have a lot of wielders around, so unsentimental as it might be, there's nobody around who it might go to. Asgardian magic, canon implies, is somewhat like advanced science instead.

    The next chapter (or two) should feature a character where this particular factor will actually be in play.

    Like I said, easy to hand wave as Harry is MoD. It isn't a nitpick I have with the story, it was just in reference to what others were saying.

    Does Roarian/Morta's Priest still post here?
    It has been long time since last update.
    I am really exited to see their adventure in cancerverse.

    User was infracted for this post. It's okay to bump old threads if you're going to leave a review, but there's nothing of worth in this particular post. ~Ched
