Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 248 Protection Bracelet Version 2.0

  Unfortunately, making wands is an art.

  Of course, as long as he is willing to learn, Albert is sure he can learn it himself, but the wand he makes is definitely not as good as Ollivander. After all, he is a professional manufacturer of wands and has several generations of experience. Unless Albert is willing to spend a lot of experience and skill points on wand making, in Albert's eyes, it is obviously more cost-effective to buy one from Ollivander for 10 Galleons.

   Sure enough, it is more practical to prepare some defensive magic items.

  Wizards are usually only wary of another wizard's wand.

  Speaking of the protective bracelet, Albert opened his box and took out the already formed protective bracelet from it. This is a wooden bracelet made of mandrake roots, and only the ancient runes are left on it.

  Albert has been waiting for his runes to be upgraded to level three. He is still short of nearly 2,000 experience points. The further he goes, the more difficult it will be to obtain experience. Just like when a high-level character fights a low-level monster, the experience will be greatly reduced.

   Originally, Albert was planning to rely on his own ability to advance to level 3?

   "It seems that time waits for no one!" Albert sighed softly. If he wanted to advance to the third level by himself, it would probably be next year, when the day lily would be cold. He was not angry, and said with emotion: "However, it's great to have cheats!"

   As he spoke, Albert directly raised the rune skill on the panel to level three, then closed his eyes, and began to read the extra information about rune in his brain.

  Skill Level 3 is a threshold.

  After Occlumency reached the third level, many wizards could no longer easily see through their own thoughts, and they could even fabricate some memories to confuse those who peeped at them.

  After the third level of magic text, there is indeed a lot of knowledge, which is almost the same as what Albert guessed. This part of knowledge is related to rune magic.

  Using runes to cast spells is different from magic in the traditional sense of wizards. This difference is a bit like the magic of goblins and house elves, and they all belong to independent magic systems.

   This is one of the reasons why Gublai Immortal Fire is regarded as a very advanced spell, even many wizards will use it, and Professor Flitwick will only briefly mention it in the upper grades of Charms.

   Um, the treasure of Ravenclaw?

   Albert recalled what he saw in the secret room, and guessed the way to open the secret room.

   "Interesting." He curled his lips and whispered to himself. He really wanted to go back to the Room of Requirement now, but he still suppressed his anxiety.

  Refocused on the previously designed defensive runes.

  Looking at the runes on the note, Albert was a little dumb. It felt like he was watching a child trying to use his own understanding to explain something beyond their cognition. It couldn't be said that it was completely wrong, but it felt a little... well, childish.

   Yes, a little childish.

  In fact, when you really master it, you will understand what is going on.

   Albert picked up the quill, began to modify the runes, and revised the above content. He redesigned the runes on the protective bracelet, and carved them slowly with the ritual-feeling carving knife. After finishing, he cut his finger with a knife, let the blood drip on the runes, and chanted a spell to activate the runes on it. It's not much different from the previous knowledge, and then, the last step is to cast a spell on the protective bracelet.

  The spell uses runes, and the effect is similar to the Iron Armor Curse, but the effect is more powerful.

   "However, I don't think there's any difference!" Albert picked up the newly manufactured protective bracelet version 2.0 and looked it up and down.

If I have to say it, I feel that this thing is now a magic item, and its usage times have nothing to do with wizards. Although it is not a one-time item, there is a limit on how many times it can be used, and the protective effect on it will gradually fade. Weakened, it takes time to recover, a bit like the cooling time of props in the game channel, which makes Albert find it very interesting.

   As for how long the cooling time of this magic item is, Albert actually doesn't know.

   "Healed as New"

   Albert raised his wand and swiped across the wound on his finger. The shallow wound originally drawn by the knife quickly healed.

  Rune magic is slightly different from the magic that wizards use now, and it usually requires objects to make the magic more powerful.

  Gublai Immortal Fire is an example.

Of course, the reason why the Gublai immortal fire can continue to burn is actually related to the materials used to make it. Its handle is made of sycamore wood, and it also needs the feathers of the phoenix, just like the answer to the riddle of the eagle ring. Fire itself is a cycle, which is why the Gublai Immortal Fire never goes out.

   "The devil's flame doesn't seem to be easily extinguished." Albert murmured, "It's just that it's not easy to control. However, the devil's flame will swallow everything, but the Gublai fairy fire will not.

   Having said that, if the Gublai Immortal Fire can be regarded as a skill, is the protective bracelet he invented also a skill?

  After Albert had this idea, he opened his skill panel and looked through it carefully. He couldn't find the skill of the protective bracelet, but he found a brand new skill called amulet.

   The skill level of the amulet is almost level 1.

   "So, this thing is actually a kind of amulet?" Albert looked away, looked at the protective bracelet on his hand, and murmured.

  However, Albert didn't mind whether the skill was an amulet or a protective bracelet, so he directly upgraded it to two levels, and then continued to review the knowledge in his mind with his eyes closed.

   There is always one suitable method for making amulets.

   Albert stared at the protective bracelet that had just been manufactured, thought for a while, then took out the unicorn statue that was going to be given to Isobel, and carved the required runes on it without spending much.

   However, during the bloodletting, Albert still hesitated a little. Holding his knife and looking at his thumb, his face twitched slightly, and finally he stabbed it cruelly and lightly.

   "If this happens every time, will I be anemic?" Looking at the completed unicorn, Albert muttered softly.

  Level 3 is indeed a hurdle.

  However, in the case of using experience to upgrade, it is not an easy task to upgrade the panel skills to the third level by yourself.

  Albert looked at his experience pool and skill points, then at his skills, and sighed, experience is never enough.

  If you can raise the skill to level 4...

   Albert quickly dispelled this idea. Experience is far from enough. The only level 4 is the blood of a wizard. It is not very obvious to Albert that this skill has been upgraded to level 4.

  Although he was a little bit looking forward to the changes brought about by the fourth level of skill, but the skill points were not enough, and he could upgrade to another fourth level at most.
