Librarian at Hogwarts

Tom's alchemy table was specially built by him, and it is somewhat different from the popular alchemy tables on the market.

According to Tom, the use of his alchemy table would be more in line with the operating habits during the alchemy process.

Of course, Igno didn't know which alchemy platform was more useful.

After all, he had never felt it before.

This was his first close contact with the alchemy platform, the legendary 'gold depository'.

Ignat carefully placed the four raw materials on the alchemy table. Under Tom's explanation, he quickly understood the operating area of ​​the alchemy table.

Roughly speaking, the alchemy platform is divided into four areas.

The first area is the anatomical area.

Break down your raw materials, grind them into powder, or smelt some kind of substance, usually minerals or rare metals.

In the production process of magic equipment, metal raw materials are the most precious.

The second area is the forging area.

Use the raw materials you have polished or smelted to make alchemy.

The alchemists here usually imagine what they want to create in advance.

Rings, tokens, mirrors...all kinds, it mainly depends on the alchemist's personal preference.

This process generally takes a long time, so in the forging area, there are the most and most precise instruments.

The third area is the enchantment area.

Enchanting is the most critical step in the alchemy process.

Only when the enchantment is successful can the magic props produced by alchemy have real magical power.

When enchanting, generally speaking, the use of magic pattern enchantment, the magic core enchantment of powerful creatures, and a combination of the two are relatively conventional methods.

Of course, in fact, there are many other methods of enchantment, but their essence is closely related to these three methods.

The last area is the safe area.

This is the area where magic equipment is tested to see if it can function properly.

There may be many alchemists who think this is a redundant area, but tragic alchemical accidents tell us that safety is always the first concern in alchemy.

Under Tom's instructions, Ignat began his first alchemical experiment.

His goal is to add magic patterns to the three-pointed shield.

The function of this magic pattern is to allow Igno to become invisible with the help of earth elements.

Moreover, while becoming invisible, it can also improve the original offensive and defensive capabilities of the three-pointed shield.

To achieve this, without changing the material of the three-pointed shield, it is actually extremely difficult to just carve the magic pattern.

Because no one can guarantee that the magic patterns carved on it will not conflict with the three-pointed shield itself.

This is also a term often mentioned by alchemists: nature is in conflict.

However, Igno is [-]% sure.

Although it is not [-]%, if you tell it, it is a very high success rate.

Ignat began to decompose the raw materials.

He was very meticulous every step of the way.

As much as possible, he will not damage the raw materials themselves, which can maximize the power of the alchemical raw materials.

Tom watched Ignat's movements with interest.

He felt that Igno, a newcomer to alchemy, would make many mistakes that newcomers would make.

But I didn't expect that every step Igno made was perfect.

Even a senior alchemist like Tom would have difficulty guaranteeing that he would be able to perform as well as Igno.

"Isn't it possible that this kid is actually a genius in alchemy?"

Tom was secretly surprised.

The reason why Igno can perform like this is that he has extremely solid theoretical knowledge of alchemy.

This knowledge allows him to easily avoid the mistakes that novices often make during practical operations.

Moreover, in terms of techniques, alchemy and potion making have similarities.

This also makes Ignat feel at ease when developing raw materials.

"call."

Ignat let out a long breath.

In about half an hour, Igno had prepared the four raw materials in the required proportions.

What we need to do now is the most critical step.

Enchant the three-pointed shield and engrave it with magic patterns.

The difficulty of this step went up several levels.

Ignat hesitated, and even Tom, who was watching from the side, was a little hesitant.

According to Igno's previous research, the four raw materials he selected will not conflict with the material of the three-pointed shield itself. In other words, they can interact with each other.

However, this is just a theoretical statement.

No one can guarantee that such an approach will have positive results.Maybe it will have the opposite effect, greatly weakening the magic power of the three-pointed shield itself.

"Boy."

"Give it a try!"

Tom encouraged Ignat from the side, but he actually didn't have any confidence in his heart.

If there is a safe way, it is to decompose the raw materials of the three-pointed shield, and then conduct alchemical experiments bit by bit to test out the homogeneous substances, and then eliminate the heterogeneous substances.

But this method is too complicated and consumes a lot of raw materials.

Obviously, neither Ignat nor Tom have the conditions for this reality.

Igno also said to himself in his heart.

Only one try.

He picked up a delicate knife. This knife had a slender tip. The tip was very sharp and could easily cut through any magic equipment made of any material.

Ignat began to carve magic patterns on the three-pointed shield.

This is a not too complicated magic pattern.

Magic pattern circles of different sizes slowly appeared on the back of the three-pointed shield.

"You have to take advantage of now!"

Tom shouted excitedly next to him.

Generally speaking, magic equipment has the ability to automatically recover. The more excellent the quality of the equipment, the stronger the recovery ability.

You must take advantage of the time gap when it automatically recovers to put the refined raw materials into the carved magic patterns.

If you take a step slower, it means that all your previous efforts have been in vain.

Ignat quickly picked up the raw materials, and then wanted to pour the powder into the carved magic patterns.

Unfortunately, it might be Igno's first time doing alchemy, so he was a step too slow after all.

The three-pointed shield was restored, and the carved magic patterns disappeared in an instant.

"It's okay, let's do it again."

Tom cheered from the sidelines.

This kind of thing is normal. Even if Tom himself takes this step, there is no guarantee that it will be successful in one go.

Igno nodded and took a deep breath.

He once again performed magic pattern carving.

The magic pattern appears...

recovery...

Unfortunately, Igno failed once again.

Most of the raw materials in Igno's hand have been consumed.

"Get the hang of it, kid!"

Tom reminded from the side.

Ignat glanced at Tom, and his heart suddenly felt awakened.

He began to summarize the previous two failures.

Finally, Igno recalled a detail.

During the final enchantment, the recovery of the three-pointed shield will be slower if there is powder.

"So, I shouldn't consider filling the magic pattern with powder first, but I should first spread a thin layer on top of the magic pattern."

Ignat's eyes lit up.

He finally got the hang of it!

The third experiment...

A drop of sweat dropped from Igno's forehead.

In his excited expression, he finally slowly raised the three-pointed shield.

Three-pointed shield, magic pattern carving successful!
