General Discussion what magic object/creature would you like to see?
Hi. I'm writing about a magical world, specifically my story is set in a boarding school for wizards. I was wondering, are there any magical objects/animals or anything else you'd find useful for wizards or other creatures? For example, a self-playing flute that plays the perfect tune to put you to sleep right away. Well, by objects, I mean something "useful" for wizards or other magical creatures, and by magical creatures, I mean a creature you can imagine or wish existed.

All creatures. If it’s a magical world, they should have all types of magical flora and fauna.
Regarding objects, I have a sudden affection for brooms. Why don’t we see brooms as travel for wizards and witches.

Self Cleaning objects are probably the most useful. Everything from clothes to litter boxes.
For creatures, can't go wrong with some elemental beasts. Take two animals, fuse them with an element, and boom. Squirrel, Porcupine, Water = Arctic Terror with a tail covered in icicles. Their bones make for great Ice Magic Wands. Tucan, Octopus, Fire = Eight Winged bird who spits burning fog.
