Chapter 16 Unicorn Tail Hair, Dragon Nerves and Phoenix Feathers

Since he has already finished learning about magic trees, Drinker will learn about the core of the wand starting from today.

"Early in my career, I watched my father, a fellow wand master, at work. My father spent his life trying to make wands out of different standard wand core materials." Master Ollivander then talked about his father.

Drinker had heard Master Ollivander mention his father before, and that was when he was talking about oak.

"So my father likes to use some unique magical creatures to make wands. For example, he once used the hair of a kelpie to make a wand core. Of course, I still have that wand on the shelf. This does not mean using kelpie hair as a wand core. The wand is not good, but I don’t know it well enough, and if I don’t know a wand well enough, then I won’t sell it to a wizard,” Master Ollivander continued, Drinker was now used to Master Ollivander The master always likes to intersperse teaching between knowledge and principles, so Drinker is already used to this.

"Of course, influenced by my father, I have also tried many such productions. I used a large number of low-level magical creatures to make wands, but the effects were average," Master Ollivander continued, and he seemed to have thought of some of his own. past.

"Of course, those failures were not all bad things for me. At least they sparked the idea of ​​finding high-quality materials for the core of the wand. From that time on, Ollivander only used high-grade materials for the core of the wand. Magical creatures." Master Ollivander continued, introducing history.

"So, since I inherited the wand workshop at home, I have only used the best materials to make the core of the wand. After that, after repeated research and experiments, I concluded a result, that There are only three materials in the magic world that can produce wand cores that meet Ollivander's highest manufacturing standards. They are: unicorn hair, dragon nerves and phoenix feathers. These three raw materials are very expensive and rare, but they All have their own unique qualities." Master Ollivander continued, but at this time Drinker thought of the wands Ollivander had given him to try on frog nerves and snake nerves before.

"You missed Drinker," Master Ollivander seemed to have noticed that Drinker was deserting, so he reminded him.

"Sorry, teacher," Drinker smiled awkwardly. This situation had happened many times in the past ten days, so Master Ollivander and Drinker were used to it.

"Okay, next, I'm going to explain to you these three magical creatures that are most suitable for wand making." Master Ollivander said slightly seriously. What he is going to talk about next is more important. This is also his reminder to De. Link's reasons.

"First of all, what I want to talk about is the tail hair of the unicorn. The reason why I will talk about the tail hair of the unicorn first is because among the three magical substances, the tail hair of the unicorn is the most common, and it is also the tail hair of the unicorn. The tail hair of the beast is the most tolerant. And usually, the wands made of the tail hair of the unicorn can release spells stably, and they rarely experience magic fluctuations or magic blockage. "

"Wands with unicorn tail hair cores are generally not suitable for black magic. Unicorns are sacred and they can never succumb to black magic. They are also kind, so unicorn tail hair can Combined with any magical tree, they are also the most loyal of all wands. Typically, a wand with unicorn tail hair will cling firmly to its first owner, whether that owner is a highly accomplished person or not. Wizards, they are all loyal." At this point, Master Ollivander also became in awe of the unicorn. As for Drink, he has been taking notes, which he developed seven or eight days ago. Habit.

"However, there will not be a magical creature that is completely flawless in the magic world, so using unicorn tail hair as a wand core also has shortcomings. The biggest disadvantage of using unicorn tail hair as a wand core is that it is weak.

"The unicorn is sacred and clean, and people can't help but admire it when they see it. But even if it has a lot of advantages, people can't ignore its fighting power. Yes, the wand made of unicorn tail hair is better than other wands. The wands produced by the two are generally weaker."

"Indifferently, a wand with unicorn hair as its core will be much better in casting power and speed than the two magical items of the same material. The most critical and important thing is that unicorn tail hair is very multi-directional. Their numbers are outrageous,"

"A unicorn can have at least three hundred tail hairs, which means that just one unicorn can keep Ollivander working for several years." Finally, Master Ollivander said with a rather funny The speech ends with an introduction about unicorns.

In this regard, Derek feels that he has not finished learning. He seems to have only learned part of the knowledge about unicorns. For example, he knows that unicorn blood can cure diseases and unicorn horns can be used to make magic. Medicines and so on and so forth.

When he felt that this was what Master Ollivander said on purpose, Master Ollivander only said that unicorn hair could be used to make a wand, and did not say anything else.

"Okay, next is the dragon's nerves!"

"Generally speaking, wands made of dragon nerves are the most powerful and the spells released by such wands are also the most dazzling. Wands with dragon nerves as the core will have a stronger learning ability than other wands. They will adapt to various complex spells more quickly."

"The biggest shortcoming of Dragon Nerve's wands is that they like strong people. They are relatively easy to accept new owners. If the new owner defeats the original wand owner, then there is a high probability that they will become the new owner's wand, but don't let this happen. As for hating them, the wands of dragon nerves are very suitable for their current owners, and the so-called defeat does not refer to defeat in a duel or competition, but refers to the death of their original owner. After the death of the original owner, a dragon wand will easily belong to a new owner."

"Wands that use dragon nerves as raw materials are usually the easiest to succumb to black magic. However, that is not because of their resources, but because black magic is generally powerful magic, and dragon wands like to release powerful magic. This also causes them to learn black magic extremely quickly. Of course, they control black magic rather than being controlled by black magic. Dragon wands will not voluntarily deflect towards black magic. "

"So, even though dragon wands are very powerful, they are still the most accident-prone of the three wand cores, because their performance is the most unstable." Master Ollivander said a lot about dragon wands. Regarding the introduction of the wand-like wand, Drinker suspected that Master Ollivander said this on purpose, because his wand was a dragon-like wand, and when he listened, he seemed to be reminding him.

"Okay, the last thing I want to talk about is the phoenix feather," Master Ollivander cleared his throat, and then he was about to start explaining the last phoenix feather among the three cores.

"Phoenix feathers are the rarest type of wand core. Because each phoenix has only two tail hairs, even counting their rebirth, each phoenix can only provide about ten phoenix feathers at most. This is different from the dragon's. Nerves are nothing compared to a unicorn’s tail hair.”

"Rare, naturally there is a reason for being rare. Phoenix feather wands are the wands that can cast the largest variety of magic. They are suitable for all magic, whether it is justice or evil, they can master it. However, the phoenix feather wand must reveal this It will take much longer to reveal the characteristics than the unicorn hair and dragon nerve wand core."

"They are quite accumulated in this, but this is also a shortcoming. Generally speaking, Phoenix feather wands require a longer break-in period. Their break-in period is often much longer than other types of wands,"

"Phoenix feathers are the most proactive wand cores, and sometimes they even act according to their own will, so many wizards don't like this."

"Wands made from phoenix feathers are the most selective in choosing potential owners because the phoenix is ​​a very independent and reclusive creature. These wands are the hardest to tame or personalize, and they are also the most loyal to the wandholder. hard-earned."

"Perhaps because of their rarity, wands made from phoenix feathers are also powerful magic items. Especially when they release fire-attribute magic, they can often achieve surprising effects."
