Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

"It's really a long way to go now..."

Amon looked at the drawings and notes sketched in the notebook, a smile appeared on his face, and he chuckled with interest.

Destiny... He pondered for a moment, shook his head, and closed the notebook in his hand.

Next, you need to become familiar with the actual operating process of making canes as soon as possible.

Although he had acquired all the staff-making skills that Ollivander remembered, Amon had never started practicing.

If you talk about this kind of practical operation on paper, you cannot directly turn it into your own thing.

Therefore, things still have to be solved one by one step by step.

Just like before, only after creating a new spell can you think about studying magic crystals.

It's the same thing now. If he doesn't make the magic crystal perfect, he doesn't want to think about other things. Of course he likes interesting changes, but that's on the basis that he can achieve his goal. If there are variables that he can't control, he won't think about it. You will feel helpless.

……

Amon got up and took his notebook to another table.

On the table were a pile of magic materials such as wand wood, wand cores, crystals, mica, and gold that he asked Old Nott to purchase, as well as a carving knife and workbench for carving magic circuits.

He sat down at the table, picked up a wand wooden branch and began to trim it to make it beautiful and easy to hold. This is the first step in making a qualified wand——

Making a wand is not just about carving magic circuits, the processing of magic materials is equally important.

Just like Amon's wand, Ollivander used the blood of the Thestral to soak the Thestral's tail hair and elder when making it to strengthen the connection between the core of the wand and the wand wood to make the wand meet the standard.

The treatment of the wand wood and core must also comply with the characteristics of the material.

For example, the wand wood, which symbolizes beauty, cannot be made ugly in appearance;

The multi-faceted chestnut wood needs to consider the characteristics of the stick core, etc...

After processing the wand wood and core, it is time to make the most important part of the wand - the magic circuit.

……

Although runes are composed of vertical lines and 45-degree diagonal lines, which are convenient for carving, this is still a delicate job that not only requires the wizard to be skilled, but also has stricter requirements for the wizard's concentration and sensitivity.

On the one hand, excellent carving skills can make the runes look more beautiful, and the neat arrangement of spells will allow power to run unhindered in the runes circuit;

On the other hand, concentration and induction are required because the power of runes is multi-dimensional and two-sided. Runes with "stable" power may be transformed into ice-emitting ones due to the wizard's thoughts. Rune power.

A magic rune circuit will have at least three runes, so it will naturally be a big test for the wizard's skills and energy.

At the same time, whether an alchemist can be able to draw a complete magic text circuit is also a criterion for measuring the qualifications of an alchemist.

……

Let’s talk about the runes themselves that make up the magic rune circuit——

According to the different functions played in the circuit, the runes can be divided into three parts, corresponding to "beginning", "journey" and "end".

The "Start" rune at the beginning is the power that drives the magic circuit. Different runes selected will have different effects.

The "Progress" rune in the middle represents the theme of the magic circuit and is the final function of the magic circuit.

The last part of the "End" rune is the end of the magic rune circuit, where the power of the theme runes will reach perfection in different forms.

Depending on the number of runes, the magic rune circuit itself also has different powers.

For example, the circuit of three runes has the ability to progress and promote, and is also a symbol of circulation and stability;

The circuit of five runes has the effect of protection and success;

The circuit of seven runes is suitable for those mysterious and powerful forces.

——Wizards believe that odd numbers have a perfect power cycle, so the magic runes circuits are all arranged and combined with odd numbers.

On the other hand, the arrangement and combination of runes in the magic circuit are also different.

The most common one is a written-like in-line circuit with one rune and one rune carved horizontally.

This seal-cutting method is relatively traditional and formal, and is usually related to themes such as protection and attack, so it is often used by senior staff makers.

The other is a composite circuit that combines three or five runes to create a unique new rune.

Generally, the success rate of this kind of compound circuit is very high. If it is unsuccessful, it will have no effect, so the alchemist does not need to worry about whether this spell will have side effects.

Different combinations of composite circuits will have different effects.

For example, the divergent radial combination method is a temporary magic circuit, which is usually not used in the production of wands, but it is the main defense method of the alchemist.

There are also multi-axis magic rune circuits that follow the writing order of the runes, or the order of action, or thematic runes, and follow the visual order of overlapping, vertical, or diagonal combinations.

That is also the most flexible combination arrangement. It is generally not used for attack or defense, but to achieve the purpose by affecting the surrounding environment.

——In short, whether you are an alchemist or a staff maker, you need to be able to choose the appropriate arrangement and combination of runes and the number of runes according to the specific situation to build the corresponding magic rune circuit.

Of course, this is not that difficult for Amon, who has Ollivander's memory. The key lies in converting the operational details of carving runes into muscle memory.

……

Half a month later, Amon transformed from scratch into a master wand maker comparable to Ollivander.

He sat on the chair, looked at the smooth runic circuits on the golden surface of the workbench in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth.

In the past half month, he has been "upgrading" as fast as loading the experience pack, and now the wand he made can meet Ollivander's standards.

Moreover, he practiced the magic circuits needed to make magic crystals countless times on items of similar materials, almost reaching proficiency in one stroke.

And tomorrow happens to be Sunday. If the weather is fine, he will start making it - the making of some special wands or alchemy items must take the date and weather into consideration.

……

The next day, Amon got up and walked out of the underground library. He saw that the weather was as good as the forecast in the Daily Prophet - wizards could roughly judge the weather through alchemy items or the habits of magical creatures.

Then he finished breakfast, reminded Bernie and Theodore not to let anyone disturb him, and walked straight into the potions room...perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it the wand room now.

Amon came to the workbench, cleared out all the debris, and took out the magic crystal and a piece of brilliant gold - it was the piece of gold that he used to refine the magic stone. Compared with the magical properties and the relationship with the magic crystal, There is nothing more suitable as an auxiliary material than it.

Such a coincidence is probably because the vision talent at that time was strengthened by the magic stone, so he received some revelations from fate.

It also made Amon pay more attention to the gift of vision than ever before, and decided to make it the focus of the next stage of research.

……

Amon placed the magic crystal and gold on the workbench, then raised his hand and pinched his right eye socket, cast a lucky spell on himself, picked up the carving knife, and began to cut and polish the magic crystal.

His magic power fell on the magic crystal along the carving knife, gradually polishing it into a round lens.

Then he flattened the carving knife and rubbed it on the crystal lens, and the surface of the lens suddenly became smooth. In reverse, the reverse side of the lens also became smooth with the same rub. In this way, the entire lens became extremely transparent.

Then, Amon stood up the lens, pointed the tip of the carving knife at the center of both sides of the lens, and the magic power came out smoothly little by little.

The carving knife quickly slid down along the edge of the lens and cut the lens into two pieces.

Then, Amon began to engrave the magic rune circuit. The magic rune circuit he chose was an in-line seven-rune circuit, and it was a magic rune circuit that could stimulate the power of the theme runes to the extreme——

?6?8NIED?6?9（动力），?6?8THURISAZ?6?9（引导），?6?8ANSUZ?6?9（联系与增强），?6?8主题符文?6?9，?6?8KENAZ?6?9（强化与保护），?6?8EIHWAZ?6?9（整合与纯化），?6?8JERA?6?9（激发与极致）

再把每个回路当成一个新符文，以?6?8NIED?6?9开头，之间用?6?8gEBO?6?9（联合与增强）连接，最后以?6?8WUNJO?6?9（成功）结尾，就构成了总体的魔文回路。

Amon controlled his magic power and used a carving knife to engrave the magic text circuit on the lens one after another along the edge of the lens, spiraling inwards.

This link is the most critical part of production, and a slight mistake may cause devastating consequences.

That would not only cause the materials to be scrapped, but could also activate the wrong rune power, cause magical accidents, and lead to personal danger.

However, because of the complete preparation beforehand, Amon did not panic at all, his wrist was flexible and relaxed, and the carving knife in his hand was smooth and smooth.

Runes were carved one by one until the last ?6?8WUNJO?6?9 rune was engraved on the center of the lens. Amon re-aligned the two lenses tightly.

He soaked the entire lens with magic power, and the upper and lower parts of the lens suddenly merged and returned to their original state. The markings inside could not be seen from the outer surface of the mirror, as if the markings had also been repaired.

At the same time, the lenses seemed to become brighter and more present, as if they were flowing and coming to life.

The corners of Amon's mouth curved, and achieving this step basically meant success.

But he didn't want to open a bottle of champagne first, but was ready to go all out.

He put the lens on the parchment paper and drew an outline, picked up the gold next to it, and used a carving knife to shape it into a slender circular frame and decorative silk chain, and then carved a circle on the inner edge of the frame?6?8gEBO? 6?9, then took the lens, and also carved a circle of ?6?8gEBO?6?9 on the edge, and then buckled the lens into the frame, using magic to cover both at the same time, making them merge into one.

Amon looked at the monocle in his hand, and the corners of his smiling mouth grew wider and wider, revealing a wanton smile of joy. Then he directly put the monocle on his right eye and tried to feed it into it. magic.

The monocle absorbed all his magic power without any resistance, just like a baby in its mother's arms, lying on her body "greedily" enjoying the maternal warmth.

Amon's expression became strange, and he stroked his monocle, feeling like he was touching a baby's skin.

He stopped immediately, then returned to his original state two seconds later as if nothing had happened, and his strange expression turned into one of interest.

Amon casually adjusted his crystal-ground monocle, chuckled and said to himself:

"interesting."
