Also, as documented in "The Golden Bough", by J. G. Frazier, in most 
cultures it is assumed that a wizard can work powerful, harmful magic 
on his enemies if he has something that belongs to that enemy or has 
even touched him. Even fingernail clippings will do. Since a wand is 
such a personalized thing, it may be a good idea to just hold onto it 
in case your enemy manages to get away.
