Hmm.  We do know that to do directed, focused magic you must have *a* wand.
Not necessarily your own wand, any wand will do it seems.  I would think
that to do a complex spell it would help to have your own wand.  However, if
I'm reading it right, Wormtail performs AK using Voldemort's wand.  Is that
right?  Or was it Wormtail saying "Kill the spare."  That sounds rather like
an order Voldemort would give though.  Help!  Now I'm confusing myself even,
this is no help. :)
