Mateo, who was handling the walnut wood, couldn't help but shudder. He felt an inexplicable malice. When he looked up, Hope was looking directly at him.
"What's wrong?" Mateo asked with some fear.
Hope asked thoughtfully: "What kind of wand do you want to make?"
Mateo breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there was a big problem and said, "We have to wait until tomorrow. I will measure your body data before I can decide. The data corresponding to each material is different. But I Grandpa told me that even wands made of the same material may not necessarily fit the same wand.”
"Actually, our family doesn't make customized wands. My grandpa said that kind of wand has lost its spirituality."
Hope was speechless. Does a wand have so many channels? Hope stepped closer, hooked Mateo's shoulder, and said seductively: "Want to make an unusual wand?"
Mateo thought for a while and said, "You mean the Elder Wand? According to legend, it was made by the God of Death and has unparalleled power. I can't make it." Mateo shook his head repeatedly, saying that he couldn't do it.
The Elder Wand? That was indeed unusual. If he remembered correctly, it was the Elder Wand that Headmaster Dumbledore was holding in his hand now.
Hope shook his head: "No, no, no~" and said intriguingly: "The Elder Wand is indeed unusual, but we can be a little more unusual!"
Mateo:?_?
Hope took a piece of paper and a quill and started to draw. Caleb, who was competing with the rock cake on the side, also came over curiously. When they came back, everyone gave the rock cake to Caleb.
The more he drew, the more energetic Hope became, the more puzzled Mateo became, and the brighter Caleb's eyes became.
After finishing the drawing, Mateo looked at the handsome and exquisite drawings on the drawing in confusion, and Caleb said excitedly: "Revolver!"
Mateo asked in confusion: "What is a revolver?"
Caleb explained: "This is our world, which is what you call the Muggle world. This is the weapon we use." Caleb, who was worried about how to explain, thought of his wand and continued: "It is equivalent to a wizard's wand. , but the function of a pistol is relatively simple and only has killing power, and it cannot do many magical things like magic."
Hope also explained: "Yes, as the saying goes, no matter how good your martial arts is, no one can be knocked down by one shot without being hurt."
Mateo was even more confused: "But what does this have to do with the wand? Even if I make the wand into this shape, it will be inconvenient when casting spells." Thinking of holding such a strange thing and waving it to release magic, he immediately Theo shuddered, it was too uncomfortable, but it was better.
Hope placed the drawings in front of Mateo, hugged him, and guided him: "Is the wand equivalent to an extension of the wizard's arm?"
Mateo thought for a while and nodded. When he touched the wand that fit him, he felt the same feeling as his arm.
Hope added: "Then the body of the wand is equivalent to a container for transmitting magic power? Is the core of the wand a wire for pulling magic power?"
Mateo pondered for a moment and nodded again. The reason why the wand made casting spells faster, simpler, and more powerful was that it allowed the originally diffused magic power to gather together. With the release medium, it was unexpected that Hope could actually analyze so much.
Seeing Mateo's approach, Hope pointed to the revolver in the picture and said: "Can we think of the gun body as the body of the wand?"
Mateo nodded.
"Can we think of the barrel as the core of a wand?"
Mateo nodded.
"Then when we release the magic power, can we let the magic power be released through the barrel of the gun?"
Mateo nodded again and said: "But what is the difference between this and a magic wand? Is it easier to wave a wand than a gun?"
Hope shook her index finger and said: "No, no, no, open our minds, Mateo, please tell me what is needed to successfully release the curse?"
Mateo was a little stuck. Why did the class suddenly start? He still thought hard for a while and said: "Spells and gestures?"
Hope shook his head in great disappointment and said: "Matteo, you have disappointed me. The condition for the successful release of the spell is magic power."
Mateo: (╰_╯)#, aren’t you talking nonsense? I thought you were going to tell me some little-known tricks. After all, Hope’s spellcasting is so good.
Ignoring Mateo, Hope continued: "With the participation of magic, we are using spells to determine the spell we want to release, and then we need to be clear about the effect of the spell, coupled with rich imagination to create a complete magic. The spell is released, and the gesture actually has little effect, it just makes our spell casting go more smoothly."
"In the final analysis, these are just to release the magic power in the way we want."
It seems that this is indeed the case. Professor Flitwick said this, and Mateo asked with a headache: "So after talking for so long, what do you want to express?"
Hope looked at Mateo with a look that said, "Nothing can be carved out of wood." He quickly drew a bullet on the parchment and said, "For this, we can use alchemy to outline the bullet we want to release inside it." The way the spell works.”
Then he pointed to the handle of the revolver and said: "Here we put a container to store our magic power. We can store as much magic power as we want for the powerful spell."
Then he pointed to the revolver of the revolver: "Then we put the carved magic bullets into it."
Then he pointed at the trigger of the revolver: "We make a release device here. As long as we pull the trigger here, the magic stored in the handle position will be quickly released. After the movement of the magic bullet, it will finally be released through the barrel. Finally, we Just replace the bullets with whatever magic spell you need."
"Do you think the century-old magic wand has been made?"
The more he talked about it, the brighter his eyes became. It seemed feasible. There was a very critical question. Mateo asked: "Then the key to releasing the curse lies in the bullet you mentioned. How to make the bullet?"
Hope scratched his head in distress. Recently, he looked at the alchemy books recommended to him by his mother Theresa. The basic and most important ones are alchemical symbols and magic formulas. Maybe he can try using the magic formulas corresponding to the magic spells. Try it out by outlining the circuit on the bullet.
"We can put this aside for now. I'm studying alchemy recently to see if I can find a way to do it. But we can make the magic pistol first and see the effect."
Mateo said a little unconfidently: "I have just started making magic wands. Why don't we try making ordinary wands first? If it succeeds, we can then make the magic pistol you mentioned?"
Hope put his hands on Mateo's shoulders, squeezed them tightly, and said with firm eyes: "Be confident, you are the future staff master."
