Late at night, Tom was still burning the midnight oil. The illustrated book had detailed descriptions of various wand cores and woods, as well as corresponding pictures. Coupled with the samples provided by Mr. Ollivander, Tom gradually learned about the materials used in wand learning.
Gained further understanding.
[Acquire enough knowledge, hidden knowledge theory-Wand Learning to unlock,
Wandology talent will be displayed when making a wand for the first time]
[Wand Learning Level 0 (0/100)]
Tom: Yeah (＾－＾)V
Although he didn't know the use of wand learning, the pleasure of acquiring a skill for free was still very satisfying.
The next day, Mr. Ollivander was shocked when he checked Tom's study progress. He originally gave Tom three days to read the book, but he didn't expect that Tom would memorize it in one night.
So he started the next stage of teaching with great interest.
Speaking of which, Mr. Ollivander's work situation is much easier. He has stored tens of thousands of wands in his store, which can last him several years just from the old capital. In addition, there are few customers coming before the school season.
He was so pitiful that he was always in a carefree state.
Being idle is also idle, why not teach students.
"Tom, do you know what a wand is?"
Tom thought back to the process of casting a spell with his wand, "Magic amplifier?"
Mr. Ollivander shook his head, "The wand is not an amplifier of magic power. In fact, it is more like an auxiliary prop..." Ollivander took out a huge piece of parchment with a picture of a person and him on it.
's internal structure.
"Beginners often have the misunderstanding that the magic power in a wizard's body is weak and needs a wand to amplify it. This idea is fundamentally wrong. If the wand is a magic amplifier, then why would a great wizard like Dumbledore practice it?
Casting spells without a wand?”
This sentence confused Tom: Yes, the function of the wand is not to turn one unit of magic power in the body into ten units. If that were the case, why would Dumbledore and the others learn to cast spells without a wand? Isn't this a disguised form of weakening one's own strength?
?If you use a wand, the wizard's attack power is 100, but if you don't use the wand, the attack power is only 10. Dumbledore is so full that he doesn't use the wand?
If you are afraid of being disarmed in battle, you can prepare a spare one, or find a way to fix the wand on your hand. Isn't this much simpler than casting spells without a wand?
"The wand simply helps wizards direct their magical power so that they can concentrate on performing more complex magic. Most spells require the aid of a wand, but spells can also be cast without a wand. Wandless
Casting spells requires amazing concentration and skill, and powerful wizards use this to hone themselves."
Tom roughly understood that the magic power in the wizard's body is extremely amazing. From the obscurus incarnation of the out-of-control wizard, it can be seen that this is indeed the case. The wand is more like the fancy auxiliary equipment on modern bows and arrows, which can help people shoot more
It's accurate, but it doesn't prevent the big guys from holding a horn bow and piercing the enemy with a hundred steps.
After explaining the principle of the wand, Mr. Ollivander told Tom how to make a wand.
"Different magic materials will have different effects when combined together. Of course, the different lengths of the wands will also have an impact."
As he spoke, Ollivander invited Tom to sit down at the workbench. He picked up a piece of pine wood from the table and also took out a piece of unicorn tail hair that looked a little old. As he explained, he
The pine wood was polished, split down the middle, and unicorn tail hair embedded in it.
After inserting the stick into the core, Mr. Ollivander took out a small carving knife with a tip as thin as a hair, and then wrote and scratched on it for a while. He did not explain this step to Tom again.
, but concentrate on characterization.
After about a quarter of an hour, Mr. Ollivander finished handling the inside of the wand, and then took out a small note from the drawer, but he reacted and put the note back.
"Carving runes inside a wand can achieve various effects. Just a wand body and a wand core are useless. Each wand maker uses different runes. If you can, get that
A magic wand, just do some research..." Mr. Ollivander thought of something midway through his words, and his eyes shone with desire.
He put the two pieces of pine wood together, then restored them to their original state, and a rough wand was completed.
He waved his wand with a hint of disgust, and a beam of light emitted from the tip of the wand.
"Look, it's done like this. However, due to the material limitations, the quality of this wand is really average." Mr. Ollivander didn't say much, and directly broke the rough wand. But his hand
The force was very clever, it only broke off the worthless pine wood without damaging the unicorn tail hair inside.
He took out another roll of parchment, with all kinds of strange symbols drawn on it.
"These are some basic runes in wandology, as well as some arrangements of the runes. You can find a piece of wood and carve it yourself. Carve it bigger first, then gradually shrink it as you become more familiar with it. Finally, make a rune only have grains of rice.
size."
After Mr. Ollivander assigned the task, he left it alone. He just left a message and waited for Tom to engrave it before giving it to him to look at.
Tom found a workbench and sat down. He first turned on the magic lamp on the workbench - this kind of lamp was an alchemical instrument, somewhat similar to the shadowless lamp in the Muggle world's operating room, and then put the parchment and carved wooden boards on it.
Fixed on the table.
He carefully studied the arrangement of runes on the parchment and found that most of the arrangements were 7 runes. The beginning and end were in a fixed format, while the middle ones were all kinds of strange. There were notes after the arrangement to explain what they could achieve.
Effect. These arrangements are basically pursuing "stability" so that the magic through them can run stably.
Tom chose a starting rune and started trying to carve it.
It was much more difficult than he thought. If his hand shook, the entire rune would be destroyed - runes are extremely delicate things, and any slight difference would lead to earth-shaking changes in characteristics.
It took Tom nearly an hour to carve the first rune. In the end, the carving was exactly the same. However, the strokes of the entire rune were darker here and shallower there. It was simply a substandard product.
But when Ollivander came over, he was very happy and praised Tom: in his opinion, he was talented to be able to carve like this for the first time.
Tom spent the next day carving runes. When he returned to the dormitory in the evening, he had already mastered the carving methods of six runes. What surprised him was that not only his wand learning experience bar turned into a question mark
, I actually gained some experience in my alchemy.
It seems that wandology and alchemy have something in common.
