Man kan visserligen få lojalitet hos en vanlig troll genom att fysiskt överväga sin wielder. När det gäller Malfoys trollstav, som Harry grep fysiskt från honom, innebär Ollivander att han har vunnit sin trohet.
“I took this wand from Draco Malfoy by force,” said Harry. “Can I use it safely?”
“I think so. Subtle laws govern wand ownership, but the conquered wand will usually bend its will to its new master.”

Likaså ryckte Ron Peter Pettigrews troll från honom:
“And we’ll have that,” whispered Ron, tugging Wormtail’s wand from his other hand.

Ollivander innebär att Ron kanske väl har vunnit sin trovärdighet:
“So I should use this one?” said Ron, pulling Wormtail’s wand out of his pocket and handing it to Ollivander.
“Chestnut and dragon heartstring. Nine-and-a-quarter inches. Brittle. I was forced to make this shortly after my kidnapping, for Peter Pettigrew. Yes, if you won it, it is more likely to do your bidding, and do it well, than another wand.”

Det är emellertid bara den äldre Wand som anser att makt är den enda sak som spelar roll. En vanlig stav kommer sannolikt att ha någon koppling till sin tidigare wielder, med graden beroende på olika faktorer, inklusive stavmaterialet. Unicorn-hårväggar förändrar till exempel inte lojalitet så enkelt, vare sig fysiskt eller med magi. Enligt detta material från den gamla Pottermore:
Unicorn hair generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. Wands with unicorn cores are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. They are the most faithful of all wands, and usually remain strongly attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch or wizard.
Dessutom, hur någon förvärvar en trollstav kan betyda. Enligt Ollivander:
“Hawthorn and unicorn hair. Ten inches precisely. Reasonably springy. This was the wand of Draco Malfoy.”
“Was?” repeated Harry. “Isn’t it still his?”
“Perhaps not. If you took it—”
“—I did—”
“—then it may be yours. Of course, the manner of taking matters Much also depends upon the wand itself. In general, however, where a wand has been won, its allegiance will change.”
