Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

When it comes to using alchemy to improve combat effectiveness, the first thing Stone thinks of is his baseball bat.

When he was fighting a troll a few days ago, he was thrown away by a stick. So if his baseball bat was possessed by demons, would the outcome be different?

He thought of the (Uluz), the bison, representing brute force.

If you only need 'brute force', there is no need to design complicated runes, just this single rune will do. Stone pulled out a baseball bat and a carving knife.

As soon as he started carving, Stone felt something was wrong. Obviously, the quality of the baseball bat was better than that of the carving knife...

But he had already started and it was better not to give up halfway. He still forced himself to finish carving the runes and got a baseball bat with brute force runes attached and a wear-grade carving knife.

Stone stared at his carving knife speechlessly, "It's useless, I can only carve wood."

Fortunately, apart from this, there are three left, so I can make do with them.

He pulled out his wand, pointed it at the baseball bat, and said 'Uruz'.

The red light flashed away and Stone picked up the baseball bat again.

The weight didn't change. He gripped the stick tightly and swung it hard.

"Bang!" Anthony's desk was split open.

"Ahem!" Stone looked around and took out his wand, "Repaired as before."

Very good, a carving knife can bring such effect, it is worth it.

However, Stone was not satisfied with this.

This is a magical world. No matter how powerful the baseball bat is, it is only close combat. He has to develop some long-range means.

"What to do?" He waved the bat randomly and thought randomly.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on his baseball bat. Since he already had a baseball bat, baseball might be a good choice.

Of course, it can't be just ordinary baseball. It's in the magical world, so some magic effects have to be added. He immediately opened his design notebook.

......

In one afternoon, Stone came up with a plan - using the (Fehu) rune.

This rune has the meaning of 'wild, uncontrolled fire', which has a negative meaning.

Under normal circumstances, the process of an alchemist designing runes is also a process of abandoning the negative effects of the runes and exerting the required positive effects. Stone is prepared to do the opposite and completely inspire the wild flames of this (Fehu).

He didn't know whether this approach was in line with the standards of public alchemists, but the idea stuck directly in his mind, so let's do it.

However, ideas are just ideas, and there is still a long way to go before they can be put into action.

Material of the talisman: Wood is too light and cannot fly far, it is really metal.

This brings up the second problem - the carving knife needs to be upgraded.

The third one is craftsmanship. Round things are difficult to make, so what he designed was a circle composed of a lot of curved parts. Transfiguration spells cannot be used because the talisman must be kept pure. The only way is to melt it first like when making a projector, and then use a spell such as a levitating spell to condense the liquid into the required shape.

Finally, there is the talisman. He designed many parts, and each part has a corresponding talisman. For these talismans, Stone only has a concept, and has not designed a complete one.

With so many problems, it can only be said that there is a long way to go.

one by one.

Step One - Gold Galleons.

There was no way, both the carving knife and the materials required money, and his last seven gold galleons had already been melted into the projector.

Stone returned to his old business and started the "Helm of Shock"

He can now make two a day. However, in order to maintain the condition to design a large number of talismans, Stone still provides Anthony with one a day, but the unit price has been increased to two gold galleons, so it is okay.

As the richest student in Hogwarts, Harry bought one of course. As Hermione's friend, he also knew that these shocking rudders were made by Stone.

In fact, during this time, the three Gryffindors often came to Ravenclaw Tower to watch movies, but Stone was very busy and rarely met them.

And every time they met, Stone could feel Harry looking at him, hesitantly as if he wanted to say something. Although he was curious, he didn't ask.

... ...

November is when the Quidditch season begins.

Before the game started, news broke that Harry would play as Gryffindor's Seeker.

Stone was in the library when the news broke, and soon after, Hermione ran over and invited him to watch the first Gryffindor game.

"Okay." Stone flipped through the book, "When?"

Recently, I have been working at two o'clock and one line at a time, in the dormitory and the library, and I have only done a few things. I have done [Shock Helm], read books, and designed talismans. It would be good to watch a game and relax.

"tomorrow."

"it is good."

After saying that, Stone closed the book and stretched. When he stretched, he glanced at Hermione and found that she did not follow suit, which was a pity.

Of course, Hermione didn't notice Stone's "dirty" thoughts. Seeing that Stone was no longer going to read, she asked:

"Is it so early today?"

"Well." Stone put his arms on the table and tilted his head to look at Hermione, "You are here, I will definitely chat with you."

Hermione lifted her scarf up, and she felt her ears feel hot.

"Talk about-what?" she said hesitantly.

"You can talk about whatever you want."

"That - that - right, Stunning Helm! Why did I fail the last time I tried? Didn't you tell me the real trick?"

When it comes to his major, Stone thought about it carefully and said seriously:

"Impossible, what I gave you is already a fool's tutorial. It must be your problem if you don't succeed."

"..." Hermione glanced at Stone expressionlessly, "How about you come and demonstrate it to me?"

"It's better if you demonstrate it and let me see what's wrong."

"Okay!" Hermione immediately took out the carving knife and wooden sign from her seamless stretch bag, put them on the desk and started to operate them.

Stone watched intently.

There was no problem with the starting position of the knife, but Stone frowned when he saw the second step.

"Um...can you hold your hand steady? Why do you pause?"

"Huh?" Hermione looked at the extremely silky straight lines under her hand, "It's very straight."

"...Didn't you realize that your lines are full of pitfalls?"

"Is there any?" Hermione picked up the wooden sign and looked at it carefully, "No."

"You are not suitable for alchemy, give up." Stone said.

If your hands are unsteady, you can practice again. If your eyesight is not good, there is really nothing you can do.

"Hmph!" The tips of Hermione's ears quickly became cold, "It's impossible, I will definitely practice it well."

"Then come on."
