The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Late at night, Tom was still burning the midnight oil. The illustrated book has detailed descriptions of various wand cores and woods, as well as corresponding pictures. Coupled with the samples provided by Mr. Ollivander, Tom gradually gained a better understanding of the materials used in wand science.

[Acquire enough knowledge to unlock hidden knowledge theory-Wand Science,

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 startled when he checked on Tom's progress. He originally gave Tom three days to read the book, but he didn't expect that Tom would remember it in one night.

So he started the next stage of teaching with great interest.

Speaking of which, Mr. Ollivander's working situation is much easier. He has stored tens of thousands of wands in his store, which can last him several years just from his old work. In addition, there are very few customers coming before the school season, so he has always been in a leisurely 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. 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 still practice it? Casting spells without a wand?”

This sentence confused Tom: Yes, the function of the wand is never 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 weakening one's own strength in disguise? If the wand is used, the wizard's attack power is 100, but without 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 easier than casting spells without a wand?

"Wands simply help wizards direct their magical powers so they can concentrate on casting more complex spells. Most spells require the aid of a wand, but spells can also be cast without a wand. Wandless Casting spells requires incredible concentration and skill, and powerful wizards hone themselves in this skill."

Tom roughly understood that the magic power in the wizard's body was extremely amazing. This is indeed the case, as can be seen from the obscurus incarnated by the out-of-control wizard. The magic wand is more like the fancy auxiliary equipment on modern bows and arrows. It can help people shoot more accurately, but it does not prevent the boss from holding a horn bow to pierce 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."

With that said, Ollivander invited Tom to sit in front of 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 polished the pine wood, split it open, and inserted the unicorn tail hair into 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. At this step, he did not explain it to Tom anymore, but concentrated on the 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 embryo was completed.

He waved his wand with a hint of disgust, and a faint light emerged 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. However, his hands were very clever and he 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 them according to them. Carve them bigger first, then gradually shrink them as you become more proficient. In the end, a rune must only contain grains of rice. size."

After Mr. Ollivander assigned the task, he left it alone. Just leave a message and wait for Tom to carve it out 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 lamp was an alchemical instrument, somewhat similar to the shadowless lamp in the operating room in the Muggle world, and then fixed the parchment and carved wooden board 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 behind the arrangement to explain what they could achieve. Effect. These arrangements basically pursue "stability" so that the magic that passes through them can run stably.

Tom chose a starting rune and started trying to carve it.

It was much harder than he thought. If the hand shakes, the entire rune will be useless - runes are extremely delicate things, and a slight difference will lead to earth-shaking changes in characteristics.

Tom spent nearly an hour carving the first rune. In the end, he could carve it exactly the same, but 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, and by the time 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 did his wand learning experience bar turn into a question mark, but he also gained some experience in alchemy.

It seems that wandology and alchemy have something in common.
