Tom's idea is by no means whimsical. He just wants to fix runes and the like on some kind of carrier to achieve solidification of magic. This is not a groundbreaking work. On the contrary, the magic world is already widely working on solidification of magic.
Those with higher technical requirements include broomsticks. Most high-end brooms have solidified magic. Products with less technical requirements are wizard robes. Many wizard robes have self-cleaning magic solidified on them, and some can also ensure warmth in winter and coolness in summer.
Tom didn't know the principles of these solidification magics, but he also came up with his own ideas.
Ollivander walked to the back room and used a levitating spell to take out a slender package from the corner of the room. Tom had a vague idea, but was not sure until Mr. Ollivander opened the package.
Inside the package turned out to be a metal staff that was two fingers thick and two meters long.
Tom was dumbfounded: This staff is so close that it doesn't even need to use magic to knock down the enemy, right?
Ollivander looked at the staff and sighed, "I was young and ignorant at the time, and always wanted to create a path on my own, so I made this thing based on the staff in ancient legends. Then I thought: Why is the staff
It had to be made of wood, so I used metal..."
Seeing Tom's dumbfounded look, Mr. Ollivander's rare old face turned red. He felt like a middle-aged man whose children discovered that his QQ screen name when he was young was the same as his space. Sometimes he would explain to his children that "I am lonely in my bones."
What it is is also a kind of torture.
Ollivander coughed twice, "Basically every wand maker has his or her whims."
He picked up the staff with great effort and propped it up on the ground. "This staff is too heavy, so you can't perform magic spells with it, so ordinary wizards can't use it to cast spells. I thought about it later."
After all, it is more suitable for wizards who can cast spells without a wand - such as Mr. Dumbledore."
Tom imagined Dumbledore waving this staff, and couldn't help but feel a bit of toothache.
"How can you still hold such a staff when you know how to cast spells without a staff!"
The image of this staff gradually began to change into that of a solar flashlight.
Mr. Ollivander didn't say anything, he just poked the staff on the ground, and a dazzling light appeared on the top of the staff.
"It's really too tasteless..."
Ollivander also said that the wand he made out of a rush of thought is really weird: it is not very practical as a wand. However, Tom learned from Ollivander that the metal used to make this wand is quite valuable.
, is an alchemical product that can store a certain amount of magic power.
Tom thought the metal looked interesting, so he asked Mr. Ollivander for some.
Mr. Ollivander generously gave all the metal left over from when he made the wand to Tom.
[Obtain 3 kilograms of magic silver - pure silver refined by an alchemist, which can store a certain amount of magic power]
"You haven't thought about making the wand smaller?" Tom thought that if the wand was smaller and lighter, it might still be usable.
Mr. Ollivander showed a sly smile: "I did do this once, but the effect is really not as good as a wooden wand..."
Tom was speechless. He put away the scraps. When he returned to the dormitory at night, he picked out a piece of magic silver, took a carving knife, and cut the metal piece into the size of a coin little by little, smoothed it, and polished it. Tom felt lucky.
Yes, this metal is not very hard and can be carved with a carving knife.
Tom was playing with a magic silver coin the size of a gold galleon in his hand. After thinking for a while, he picked a few runes and slowly engraved them on it.
"Start, call, stabilize, transmit, float, light - the end rune."
These runes are the crystallization of the experience of alchemists and wand makers of the past generations. They discovered that as long as the magic power runs through these tracks, specific effects can be achieved. Thanks to them, Tom can directly stand on the shoulders of his predecessors to create his own
research.
By the time he finished carving all seven runes in a specific formation, it was already late at night. Tom turned off the lights in the dormitory, and the room was dark.
Tom poured a magic power into his magic silver coin, and then the coin gave off a faint light. Tom let go of his hand, and the coin floated in mid-air. Even if Tom cut off the supply of magic power, it would still be there.
Glowing quietly.
"It's done!"
Tom's work all night was actually to make a floating night light. But what drives this light is magic, magic power. More importantly, Tom cut off the magic power supply, and it still worked normally for five minutes.
A toy that looks very useless. If you use magic spells, Tom can achieve the same effect in just five seconds - floating and glowing. It is not difficult, but it took two hours to carve this coin.
But Tom was still very satisfied.
When Tom came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore the next day, the bookstore was closed. The manager of the bookstore, Mr. Lawrence, stood outside the store. In front of him were four wizards, three men and one woman, and a senior employee leading three newbies. The four wizards
Pinned on the front of their robes is a badge with the letter M engraved on it - the emblem of the Ministry of Magic.
Seeing Tom coming over, Mr. Lawrence smiled at Tom and said, "We are not open today. I will give you a day off."
This was exactly what Tom wanted, but he didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood aside and watched what happened.
Seeing Lawrence finish speaking, the short-haired wizard smiled and said, "It will delay your business."
"No, please cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's inspection!" With that said, Mr. Lawrence opened the store door and wanted to invite some Ministry of Magic investigators in.
The short-haired wizard walked in carelessly and looked at the neatly arranged books on the bookshelf. He did not rush to start searching, but instead chatted with Mr. Lawrence.
"How's business?"
"It's tepid, it will get busy in two days."
"You don't have any dark magic items in your shop, do you?"
"Look what you said, when I open a bookstore, will it be able to sell black magic items? Those who sell prohibited items are all over there." Mr. Lawrence pointed in the direction of Knockturn Alley.
The short-haired wizard didn't answer. Of course he knew that Knockturn Alley had been selling unscrupulous and even illegal things. He also knew that Diagon Alley was full of serious shops. That's why he came to Diagon Alley through connections! As for turning over
The back alleys are naturally left to be investigated by the stupid people in the ministry, such as Arthur Weasley...
"If we find you...turn around twice!" He finally gave the order. The team members took out several strange-shaped sticks and began to explore.
"Captain, there is a fluctuation!" Unexpectedly, the fluctuation of black magic was actually detected on a bookshelf.
The captain's expression became serious, and he took out a looking glass, but it didn't respond at all, and it didn't mean to sound an alarm at all.
The captain rolled his eyes, "I just said this thing is not reliable, it is probably a false alarm." He asked the team members to put away the sticks. The four people checked them roughly and left. Of course, Mr. Lawrence quietly handed over
He also accepted the money bag without politeness.
