This made Anduin a little confused. Why not get more Flamen alloy from Nick Flamel to arm the Order of the Phoenix? Is it really because there is any difficulty in making this kind of alloy?
Anduin didn't have much of a clue, but this kind of advanced material was beyond his imagination.
Professor Bones then continued to introduce some other magical metals to Anduin, such as Agripa alloy, which is slightly stronger than Ulim steel. This alloy was created by the human wizard Cornelius Aggri.
Invented by Liba, many alchemists have formulas, so it is not very rare, and the infamous Hypor alloy, an alloy suitable for carrying curses and black magic, was invented by the despicable Hypor.
This alloy has very good transformation properties and can be converted and disguised as other magic metals. It is a very suitable material to use to trick people.
Obviously Professor Bones's alchemy level is not as shallow as he said. He knows most of the basic materials in the wizarding world at home and has a very rich accumulation of knowledge. Moreover, he has most of the alchemy materials ready-made.
Either raw materials, or various physical objects that have been made into alchemical items. Observing and touching these materials with his own eyes allowed him to quickly have a basic impression of these materials.
After introducing various magic metals, Professor Bones explained to Anduin the role of wood in alchemy.
As well as the application of the output of many magical creatures in alchemy. In fact, the most common alchemical props on the market are of this type. The skin, hair, bones, blood, teeth, etc. of many magical creatures are used in alchemy.
Has a wide range of applications.
While introducing magical biological materials, Anduin suddenly realized a problem, that is, he seemed to have been sitting in a treasure trove without knowing it. He was in many of the skins, furs, bones and other materials introduced by Professor Bones.
Saw it in Hagrid's hut.
For example, when introducing the unicorn hair, Anduin discovered that it was the rope used by Hagrid to hang bacon, and it was the kind with more than a dozen strands braided together. He had been curious before about how to tie it.
The bacon rope did not change color at all and kept its bright luster.
And the very comfortable cushion that Hagrid gave him was actually the fur of a manticore. Anduin still had a larger piece of that fur in Hagrid's hut, and Hagrid used it to cushion the box.
, and the needle Hagrid used to make leather goods turned out to be a poison horn, and the foot mat placed at the door turned out to be a dragon skin, but he never discovered it.
Good guy, it turns out that Hagrid is an invisible rich man. Anduin feels that he can no longer look at Hagrid like a normal person.
In the next few days, Anduin studied with Professor Bones and identified many alchemical materials. On this day, Professor Bones finally began to explain to him how to make alchemical items.
"Here, these are the important tools for alchemical enchantment." Professor Bones unfolded a rolled tool set and said to Anduin.
In the tool set, there are 14 carving knives, 7 in a group, a magnifying glass, and beside it are a scale, measuring ruler, compass, pliers and other tools.
"There are two main ways of enchanting. One is to directly use spells to enchant, just like an invisibility cloak. However, this method has a poor duration. Like an ordinary invisibility cloak, it can last for several years and is already very good.
, the other is to engrave, inscribe the magic text on the magic material, as long as the magic power is replenished in time, the duration will be greatly enhanced.
There are two ways of engraving, one is overt engraving, and the other is covert engraving. As the name suggests, the former is to directly carve the rune pattern on the alchemy material with a carving knife, and then enchant it, while the other requires more detailed engraving.
With superb skills, you use a secret carving knife to directly inject magic power into the alchemy materials, and then maintain a stable magic power output to directly enchant while carving the runes. This enchanting process requires extremely strong magic power control, and the finished product is alchemical.
The effect is also better." Professor Bones introduced the functions of various carving knives and explained different enchanting techniques.
Anduin nodded and looked at the differences between the different carving knives. One of the two sets of carving knives was used for overt carving. The tip of the knife had a sharp edge. The kind used for secret carving had no edge on the front part of the carving knife.
Instead, it is like a pen with a sharp tube, which is used to transmit magic power.
"Okay, come and give it a try. You have good control over your magic power. You can try secret engraving directly. If you don't believe it, practice overt engraving." Professor Bones handed Anduin a piece of wood as a carrier for the inscription.
Anduin took the wood piece, then took a medium-sized dark carving knife, and tried to input magic power. Soon the front part of the carving knife lighted up slightly, and then controlled the magic power output, trying to carve out the floating spell on the wood piece.
runes.
After the actual operation, Anduin found that engraving was really difficult. On the one hand, he had to control the even output of magic power, and on the other hand, he had to pay attention to the accuracy of the engraving. Fortunately, what he was engraving was the floating spell rune that he was very familiar with. There was a chance of making mistakes.
Not big.
After more than half of the runes were inscribed, Anduin's control was unstable, resulting in excessive magic output and the wood pieces cracked.
Professor Bones on the side nodded slightly and said: "It's already very good. It seems that you control your magic power very well. What's rare is that your hands are also very stable. Wooden materials are easily squeezed by excessive magic power.
If this happens, the fault tolerance will be much higher if it is made of metal materials. It seems that you are very suitable for the secret engraving technique. Let’s try it again.”
Anduin nodded and took another piece of wood and tried to engrave it. However, he made another mistake halfway through the inscription and scrapped the materials. Professor Bones was very patient and kept encouraging Anduin to try.
Finally, after making mistakes 4 times, I completed the inscription of the runes. After a little activation with magic power, the engraved wood pieces floated peacefully in the air.
"Well done, you succeeded once out of five times, and it was still on very difficult wooden materials. Your success rate is already close to that of a professional alchemist." Professor Bones saw Anduin's success, and his expression was even worse than Anduin's.
Because I was still excited, I said very happily.
"Thank you, Professor Bones." Anduin was also very happy. He had crossed this hurdle and his alchemy experiments could gradually begin.
"Well, you should practice more frequently after you go back. I will lend you this secret engraving knife first. After you gradually become familiar with the feeling of engraving, we will start to test your echolocation spell." Professor Bones met Andu.
Because his talent was so good, he was very satisfied and gave words of encouragement.
