While several roommates were trying to finish their lunch, Albert was writing a letter to Sera Harishis. The content of the letter was a greeting and expressed the willingness to exchange letters with each other. At the end of the letter, Albert briefly introduced his idea for the magic lamp to Harishis.
In fact, Albert had tried to store the light ball in the box more than once, but the result was that the light ball, without the support of magical power, could not last too long and would automatically dissipate.
The idea of the magic lamp was originally based on a lamp extinguisher. If one could possess the technology to store light sources, one could naturally create a magic lamp.
Of course, if you want to make a magic lamp, there are naturally simpler and more brutal ways.
For example, the eternal fire: the fairy fire of Gublai.
Use the Gubli fire as the light source, and then place a special glass cover on it to allow the Gubli fire to provide stable, continuous and bright white light.
As for the switch problem, just make something like a cover to block the light when it is not in use.
Albert happened to know a way to completely block out the light.
In the novel and the movie, the Weasley brothers once created a smoke bomb that was light-proof. Using its light-proof properties, they could create a light-proof lampshade.
However, most of the ideas still remain just on paper, and it is not easy to turn them into reality.
Albert returned to the auditorium only after Sheila flew away with the letter.
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan had finished lunch and were studying Albert's wizard card notebook and helping to copy the names and effects of the cards from it.
Opposite the three of them, Angelina and Alia were looking through the new cards, discussing whether to ask Albert to help them make the original cards.
After all, the original cards of Albert and his four companions look really good, and are much better than the cards they are using now.
"However, isn't it a bad idea to use photos directly on wizard cards?" Angelina also found many problems.
Although the Wizard cards are similar to the Chocolate Frog cards, they still feel a bit strange.
"We don't have the money to find a good painter." Albert sat down next to Alia and shook his head. "If we really want to replace photos with paintings, it will be a long time in the future."
Of course, Albert had already thought of a backup plan. If the photos were not used later, portraits would be used instead of photos.
"Can you draw portraits?" George couldn't help asking. He knew Albert knew a lot of things, so it didn't seem strange that he could draw portraits.
"No." Albert denied it bluntly. "If there is really such a need, we can pay a Muggle painter to help us complete it, and then use magic to process the portrait again."
Albert's words surprised several people. They had never thought of borrowing the power of Muggles to accomplish something.
"We'll talk about these things later." Albert raised his hand to stop the few people who were hesitant to speak, indicating that they don't need to care about it, after all, that would be a long time in the future.
However, the way of thinking of wizards living in the magical world still makes him speechless.
Several people took turns to help fill in the cards, which made it more efficient. Before long, a lot of new cards were added. Albert also clearly divided the camps. Currently, there were only the four giants of Hogwarts, each with different effects, and all players' health points were fixed at 20 points.
Perhaps, subconsciously, everyone currently only uses the Gryffindor camp.
"Do you think that if the mysterious man appears on the wizard cards in the future, will it scare everyone?" Albert said this in a joking tone. However, he soon noticed that the atmosphere around him suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Albert looked around at everyone in confusion.
"Will the Mysterious Man card appear in the Wizard deck?" Angelina's tone was slightly uneasy, and she obviously didn't think it was a good idea.
"Of course he will appear. There will be a camp of dark wizards in the future. I think the mysterious man is quite suitable." Albert's voice gradually faded, and he finally realized what was going on.
Wizards who were born in the magical world have an instinctive awe and fear of the You-Know-Who. They don't seem to have cheats, nor do they seem to be from the Muggle world, nor do they seem to know the You-Know-Who's weaknesses, nor do they know that the You-Know-Who has no nose after his rebirth.
Other people living in the magical world are different from themselves. They grew up listening to the horror stories of the mysterious man and still have fear of the mysterious man, even if they have never experienced that period personally.
"Wow." Fred suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid at all?"
"I come from the Muggle world." Albert shrugged and explained, "This name is no different from an ordinary name to me."
"You are actually planning to put the mysterious man into the card. What are you going to do if there is no photo?" Li Qiaodan asked curiously.
"This is very simple. First, make the photo dark and leave a pair of red eyes." Albert blinked and said with a smile, "The mysterious man, the famous dark devil, you just need to make him mysterious and scary. Anyway, few people have really seen the mysterious man."
"That seems to make sense." George nodded.
"I say, can you please stop discussing this?" Alia couldn't help but complain. For most wizards in the magic world, the mysterious man was a taboo. Only these few bastards brought this matter up as a joke.
"Well, this will happen a long time in the future anyway." Albert reorganized his cards, and with the original number of cards, the number of card types exceeded 100.
Shanna walked over here and looked at the people who were playing with the cards on the table. She wondered, "Is this game really fun?"
"Well, it's more fun when a lot of people get together to play." Albert replied, "It tests your understanding, matching, and use of cards. You need to think about how to use strategies to defeat the enemy, rather than just stacking high-star cards like George did."
"Hey, don't use me as a counterexample." George protested dissatisfiedly.
"I think you are the best counterexample." Li Jordan nodded in agreement.
George is now ready to go all the way. He is trying to come up with a tactic that suits him, especially after the cards are further improved, this idea may really be realized.
After hearing what Li Qiaodan said, several people couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Why does your card look like this? The other cards look so rough?" Sana pointed at Fred's card and asked in confusion.
"Well, this card was specially made by Albert a while ago. Isn't the image on it cool?" Fred said proudly, "In the future, other cards will gradually become like this. However, it will be slower for Albert to make cards by himself. When we have his level, we will help make the original cards together."
"It feels a bit like a Chocolate Frog card." Shanna took out a picture of Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog and compared it with the card.
"Indeed, we initially got the inspiration from the Chocolate Frog pictures." Albert nodded in acknowledgement, "When the time comes, we will also make all the Chocolate Frog pictures into cards. However, we cannot do that for now."
Sana sat nearby and watched Fred and Alia play cards. Fred had the better skills and won in the end.
"You lost just like that?"
"Well, everyone has 20 HP points," Albert explained. "Generally speaking, whichever side reaches zero HP first loses. The usual tactic is to trade cards with each other and cause as much damage as possible. Of course, there are many ways to play Wizard cards, and it depends on how you play it."
"Why are they all Gryffindor cards?" Davis, who had been watching for a while, couldn't help but ask.
"Well, because this card game was invented not long ago, I have only made Gryffindor cards for now." Albert explained.
Katrina picked up a card, glanced at the contents, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You mean, this is the game you invented?"
"Um, it's a game I invented," Albert explained. "If you're interested, you can ask others to teach you how to play it."
"Is this the wizard card you mentioned in your last letter?" Truman asked curiously. He remembered that Albert also gave him a card of his own, which had the effect of rush attack: he could attack immediately after entering the field.
"Yes, if you are interested, you can play a game with them." Albert pointed at Fred and the others.
"What if I want my own house's cards?" Truman continued to ask. Since he was not a Gryffindor student, he naturally wanted to use his own house's cards.
"Well, the other cards will take time to design," Albert explained. "Of course, you don't need to worry about me being partial. For the fairness and justice of the card game, I won't favor one side when making the cards, otherwise it will lose its meaning."
"Let me play a game with you, who wants to play with me?" Katrina reached out to Albert and said, "Lend me your deck of cards."
"I'll play with you." Shanna raised an eyebrow and said, "Fred, lend me your deck."
The two newbies started to fight each other.
Although it was the first time they played wizard cards, after listening to the brief explanation, they roughly knew how to play.
A few minutes later, Katrina lost badly because she messed up the spell cards in Albert's deck.
"Is there something wrong with your deck?" Katrina glared at Albert in dissatisfaction.
"You don't know how to use my deck." Albert shrugged and said, "There are many ways to play wizard cards. My deck is a bit difficult for you."
Katrina curled her lips. She actually knew what was going on. Fred's deck was all about Quidditch, and Albert's deck had a lot of spell cards.
"It seems like the deck building is quite flexible." Truman also saw the styles of the decks of both sides.
"Of course," Albert said, "Everyone can play in their own style."
"If you are interested in wizard cards, I also welcome you to work with me to improve this game." Albert said to the onlookers.
Of course, not many people are really interested.
After all, the appearance of wizard cards is really not very good, and it seems far less interesting than other games. However, some people are interested in this novel game.
