Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Soon, the drill bit cut a circular copper piece slightly larger than a coin from the metal plate, clamped it tightly, and then transferred the circular copper piece to the adjacent grinder, which started grinding the copper piece.

After a while, the circular piece, with both sides initially polished smooth, was manipulated by magic to approach the micro-engraving knife, which began to engrave runes according to the pre-set template.

This process was quite lengthy, as the micro-engraving knife not only had to trace the magic patterns on the material but also had to import magic power at a stable and uniform rate.

However, at this stage, Anduin also discovered a problem. The operation of the lathe would produce subtle vibrations, and the micro-engraving knife connected to the lathe would also vibrate accordingly. This instability would cause discrepancies in the engraved runes.

After waiting for a while, the micro-engraving knife engraving the magic runes finally completed its work. Then, the circular copper piece was guided to the grinder again for polishing. The final product was a shiny metal circular piece engraved with runes, which was a circle larger and thicker than a normal coin.

Anduin removed the finished product and examined it carefully.

As expected, the spell patterns on the protection amulet were much thicker than expected, and there were uneven line thicknesses.

"I don't know if it's still usable, but I can sense magical fluctuations from the finished product."

After observing for a while, Anduin decided to try it out. He then took the amulet to the test range and fixed it on a humanoid target not far away.

"Stupefy!"

He fired a Stunning Spell at the amulet. As the spell approached the protection amulet, the metal circular piece immediately erected a circular shield, colliding solidly with the Stunning Spell.

Then, the shield broke.

"The stress rune is taking effect, and the power of the Shield Charm is affected and greatly weakened, is it."

"I don't know if the vibration of the lathe can be solved with the Wave-Banishing Spell. If not, the micro-engraving knife must be separated from the lathe body, otherwise the engraving accuracy will never improve."

"Moreover, the processing efficiency of the lathe is also a problem. Just processing a defense amulet took twenty minutes. If calculated at this speed, only 3 amulets can be produced per hour, which is 72 per day."

"This is not particularly fast. You know, the runes on the defense amulet are relatively simple. If it is replaced with other products, it will definitely be slower."

"The time spent engraving runes during the processing is the longest. It seems that if you want to improve efficiency, you have to install a micro-engraving knife."

"Alas, making micro-engraving knives requires goblin Urim steel. I still have great uses for this precious material. Let’s just make one more and increase the production efficiency a bit."

"In short, it is determined that the magic lathe can be used normally after the circuit is connected. Today's harvest is big enough. The problems in the processing are small troubles, just debug it slowly." Anduin summarized the experiment of the magic lathe, feeling that he was a little greedy.

Now the magic power converted from the Wild Lightning Rune can drive the magic lathe, and the alchemical items produced can be used, which also confirms his long-standing idea.

As long as the lathe is debugged to be able to produce stably, then his alchemy workshop can be officially established.

So in the next few days, Anduin concentrated on improving the magic lathe. He engraved Wave-Banishing Spells on the lathe and installed an automatic micro-engraving knife.

After several more rounds of intensive testing, the magic lathe was finally able to stably process alchemical items.

Although the quality of the finished product did not reach the level of his personal production, it could still meet normal use.

For example, a defense amulet can withstand a Stunning Spell with a maximum intensity of 80 points. You must know that the standard Stunning Spell fired by a wizard is only about 40 points. That is to say, this mass-produced defense amulet can withstand an average of two Stunning Spells.

Just as Anduin finished debugging the magic lathe, Moody and Arthur, whom he had arranged to meet, arrived.

"Haha, Anduin, lad, your house is really not bad. You only remembered to invite me over after moving here for so long. That's not fair enough."

Moody was still as boisterous as ever. After entering Anduin's house, he leaned on his crutches, touching and looking around. During this time, he did not forget to tease him a few words.

"It's my fault, but I've been overwhelmed since I moved in. You and Arthur are the first guests to come to my place. By the way, what would you like to drink? I have a few unopened bottles of redcurrant rum." Anduin approached the liquor cabinet next to him and added, "Of course, this was left by the former owner. I don't have a habit of drinking."

"Hey, you don't have to tell me this specially. I don't care if you drink or not, but you seem to be 16 years old, right? In the wizarding world, this age is already considered an adult."

Moody happily approached the coffee table, took the glass that Anduin handed over, and smelled it intoxicatedly. Then he glanced to the side, "Arthur, come and sit down. You don't know how to cherish good wine. By the way, why did you bring a child to Anduin's house?"

"Anduin is Ginny's goddaughter. I haven't seen her in a year, so I brought her over to see her." Arthur turned his head and replied casually, then turned his head again, "Ginny, let go quickly, don't keep pulling the dog."

Although Anduin invited the two of them, Arthur did not come alone today. He actually brought Ginny with him, and Ginny stared at Hogg after arriving at Anduin's house.

Then Hogg was miserable. He was originally planning to take a break today and not cause trouble, so he was lying on the windowsill in the living room basking in the sun. As a result, he was woken up by someone while still dreaming. When he woke up and saw that it was Ginny, he was immediately frightened. This was really an enemy on a narrow road. The scariest nightmare he had this year was dreaming of this girl.

Ginny actually still remembered Hogg, and came up and grabbed the dog's tail tightly like last year.

"Let go, Ginny, the hair on the dog's tail is almost pulled out by you." Arthur squatted helplessly next to Ginny and persuaded her in a gentle voice.

"No, I want a dog, I want a dog to play with me." Ginny pouted, her eyes fixed on Hogg, and she wouldn't let go no matter how Arthur persuaded her.

"It's okay, Arthur, let Hogg play with Ginny for a while. Although Hogg is big, he won't bite people." Anduin looked at the dejected Hogg with a smile, then came over and tentatively stretched out his hand, "Hi, Ginny, do you remember me?"

Who knew that as soon as Ginny saw Anduin, she immediately shook off Hogg's tail and rushed straight into Anduin's arms.
