Chapter 899 The Making and Improvement of Magic Wands
A week later, in the alchemy room of the large manor, Ivan threw aside a severely damaged wand wood and spoke. "Bring me an ebony log, Hermione...and the potion over there should be ready..."
Hermione, who was sitting aside and flipping through a book, nodded immediately, got up and started working, taking out various production materials and handing them to Ivan's hand, looking very skillful.
Ivan concentrated on holding the carving knife to modify and groove the wand wood, then soaked it in the active liquid that had been prepared long ago, and started processing the next batch of materials.
Half an hour later, Ivan took out the processed wand wood, pulled off a piece of hair, carefully put it into the wand, cut his finger and filled the gap in the groove with blood, and finally used deformation magic to seal the groove. The gap in the groove slowly closes,
After doing all this, Ivan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Making a wand is a difficult job, especially the process of fusing the wand wood with the wand core. If anything goes wrong, all the work will be wasted.
Magic items are different from ordinary objects. Once damaged, it cannot be solved by simply reciting a restoration spell. Unless you have a sacred instrument like the Elder Wand that increases magical power, you can only make a new wand.
Probably because of his lack of experience and the complexity of his powers, Ivan has failed more than ten times in a row in this week.
Part of it was an error during the production process, and part of it was that the wood used for the wand did not match the core of the wand, and the resulting wand could not be used at all.
Fortunately, the wand in front of me doesn't seem to have those messy problems.
Ivan picked it up, pointed it at the practice dummy in the distance, and waved it vigorously.
"Split into pieces!"
A dazzling magic beam flew out from the tip of the staff and hit the wooden dummy, immediately blowing it into pieces.
The outstanding power made Ivan very satisfied. He almost used the splitting spell to achieve the same effect as the ordinary blasting spell. This increased intensity had exceeded his original unicorn wand, but after taking a look at the items in the system After entering the fence, Ivan's brows wrinkled again.
[Magic Item: Unstable Wand (ebony, wizard hair, twelve inches and a quarter long)
Magic: strong
Magic circuit: magic amplification (blessing the power of magic to a certain extent)
Fit: 100%
Explanation: This is an experimental work of the alchemist master Ivan Hals. While giving it great power, it also greatly reduces the stability of the wand. No one knows when it will choose to strike, maybe in the gap between the next spell casting. ? 】
It's a pity... Ivan looked at the instructions on the system bar and shook his head in great disappointment. No matter how powerful an unstable wand is, it cannot be used. After all, in high-intensity battles, even the slightest mistake may lead to a direct outcome of the battle. reverse.
But this at least proves that his idea is right. His body tissue can indeed replace magic materials as the wand core to increase the power of the wand. However, the strength of the hair soaked in blood is a bit excessive, so there is almost no wood that can perfectly bear it. the power of.
Ivan had tried more than ten different woods before using ebony... Even the most mysterious elderwood showed unstable characteristics after adding blood and hair as the core of the wand.
Another point that makes Ivan feel a little strange is that this newly made wand is obviously much more powerful than the previous unicorn wand, but the magic power evaluation given by the system has not changed at all. It is still powerful and not Go to the next level.
Where is the boundary between the two?
Ivan touched his chin and pondered secretly. In the past few years, he has made many magic items with his own hands, but there is only one magic item that can be rated as extremely powerful by the system - that is the magic stone!
But this thing definitely cannot be used for comparison. After all, when making the Magic Stone, the magic accumulated in Hogwarts for thousands of years was used, and the core material is an extremely precious rough stone. Now there are not such good conditions. .
Just as Ivan was thinking about it, Hermione asked curiously. "Was the wand made successfully? Ivan?"
"It can't be considered a success. It can only be said that I have accumulated some experience." Ivan came back to his senses, put the wand in his hand aside, and responded with a smile.
It is indeed not that easy to make a wand comparable to the Deathly Hallows. Ivan even considered whether to take some time to ask the wand master Ollivander for advice.
After working hard all morning, Ivan finally produced a finished product. Ivan had no intention of continuing. The balance between work and rest was still very important.
"By the way, Hermione, have you read all the books I gave you?" Ivan glanced at the alchemy books on the table and suddenly remembered this.
"Not yet, how could it be so soon..." The little witch sighed, looking a little frustrated. Alchemy is more profound than she imagined. Although Ivan will explain it to her in his spare time these days, there are too many difficulties.
Ivan frowned and secretly said that shouldn't be the case. Then he patted his head, turned around, opened the drawer and rummaged through it. "It's my fault. There's something I forgot to give you."
Hermione was confused, and then she saw Ivan take out an exquisite crown from the drawer and walk over.
"Is this Ravenclaw's diadem?" Hermione asked in surprise.
"Of course, haven't you seen it before?" Ivan jokingly put the crown directly on Hermione's head, pressing down the fluffy brown hair.
The little witch was somewhat uncomfortable with the cold iron touching her forehead, but then she felt that her mind suddenly became very clear, and many questions that she had not understood before were answered at this moment.
"Oh my god, I feel like I've become smarter..." Hermione covered the crown on her head, her tone of surprise was indescribably cute.
"You shouldn't have forgotten the legend of Ravenclaw's crown, right?" Ivan said with a smile.
"Grow wisdom?!" Hermione paused and realized this immediately, but quickly asked curiously. "But, didn't Ron wear it a few days ago?"
"So Ron's luck is not good. I haven't found the spell to activate it that day." Ivan shrugged and replied casually.
Ravenclaw's diadem is not bound to him and can be used by anyone. However, he doesn't use it at all when doing experiments. It would be a waste to leave it alone. It can be used for Hermione to learn alchemy. use.
