Unfortunately, making a wand is a technical job.
Of course, if he was willing to learn, Albert would definitely be able to learn it himself, but the wand he made would definitely not be as good as Ollivander's, after all, Ollivander was a professional wand maker with several generations of experience. Unless Albert was willing to spend a lot of experience and skill points on wand making, in Albert's eyes, it would be more cost-effective to buy one from Ollivander for 10 Galleons.
Sure enough, it is more practical to prepare some magical items for defense.
A wizard is usually only wary of another wizard's wand.
Speaking of the protective bracelet, Albert opened his box and took out the finished protective bracelet. This was a wooden bracelet made of mandrake roots, with only the ancient magic runes left to be carved on it.
Albert has been waiting for his magic rune to reach level three, and currently he is still nearly two thousand experience points short. The further he advances, the harder it will be to gain experience points, just like when a high-level character fights a low-level monster, the experience points will be greatly reduced.
Originally, Albert was planning to rely on his own abilities to reach level 3
"It seems that time waits for no one!" Albert sighed. If he wanted to reach level three by himself, it would probably take until next year, and by then it would be too late. He didn't get angry, and said with emotion: "But it's great to have a cheat!"
As he spoke, Albert directly upgraded the magic rune skill on the panel to level three. Then, he closed his eyes and began to read the additional information about magic rune in his brain.
Skill level three is a threshold.
After reaching the third level of Occlumency, many wizards can no longer easily see through their own thoughts, and can even fabricate some memories to confuse those who are spying on them.
After reaching level three in Rune Magic, there was indeed a lot of additional knowledge, which was almost the same as what Albert had guessed. This part of the knowledge was 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. They all belong to independent magic systems.
This is one of the reasons why Gubler's Fire is regarded as a very advanced spell. Even many wizards can use it, and Professor Flitwick will only briefly mention it in the senior spells class.
Um, Ravenclaw's treasure
Albert recalled what he saw in the secret room and guessed how to open it.
"Interesting." He curled his lips and muttered to himself. He really wanted to go back to the Room of Requirement right now, but he still suppressed his inner anxiety.
Turn your attention back to the defensive rune you designed earlier.
Looking at the runes on the notebook, Albert was a little speechless. It felt like he was watching a child trying to explain something beyond their cognition with his own understanding. It couldn't be said to be completely wrong, but it felt a little... well, childish.
Yes, a bit childish.
In fact, when you really master it, you will understand what is going on.
Albert picked up the feather pen and began to modify the runes and revised the content on it. He also redesigned the runes on the protective bracelet and slowly carved them with the ritualistic carving knife. After finishing, he cut his finger with the knife, let the blood drip on the runes, chanted a spell to activate the runes, which was almost the same as what he knew before. Then, the last step was to cast a spell on the protective bracelet.
The spell uses magic runes, and the effect is similar to the Iron Armor Spell, but it is more powerful.
"But I don't feel any difference!" Albert picked up the newly made protective bracelet 2.0 version and looked it up and down.
If I have to say it, it feels like this thing is now a magic prop. The number of times it can be used has nothing to do with the wizard. Although it is not a disposable item, it is also limited to a certain number of times. The protective effect on it will gradually weaken and it will take time to recover, a bit like the cooling time of props in the game, which makes Albert feel very interesting.
As for how long the cooling time of this magic item is, Albert actually doesn't know.
“Healed like new”
Albert raised his wand and ran it across the wound on his finger. The shallow wound originally made by the knife healed quickly.
Rune magic is slightly different from the magic wizards use now, and it usually requires a sustenance to make the magic more powerful.
The Gublai Fairy Fire is an example.
Of course, the reason why the Gublai fairy fire can continue to burn is actually related to the materials used to make it. Its handle is made of paulownia wood, and phoenix feathers are also needed. Just like the answer to the eagle ring riddle, the phoenix and fire are a cycle in themselves. This is why the Gublai fairy fire is inextinguishable.
"It seems that the devil's fire will not be easily extinguished." Albert murmured, "It's just that it's not easy to control. However, the devil's fire will devour everything, but the Gublai fairy fire will not.
By the way, if the Gublai Fairy Fire can be regarded as a skill, then can the protective bracelet I invented also be considered a skill
After Albert had this idea, he opened his skill panel and looked through it carefully. He failed to find the skill of the protective bracelet, but found a new skill called amulet.
The amulet's skill level is almost at level 1.
"So, this thing can actually be considered a kind of amulet?" Albert retracted his gaze, looked at the protective bracelet on his hand, and muttered.
However, Albert didn't mind whether this skill was a talisman or a protective bracelet. He directly upgraded it to level two, and then continued to review the knowledge in his mind with his eyes closed.
There is always a suitable method for making amulets.
Albert stared at the protective bracelet he had just made, thought for a while, then took out the unicorn statue that he was going to give to Isobel, and carved the necessary runes on it without spending much.
However, when bleeding, Albert still hesitated for a moment. He took his knife and looked at his thumb. His face twitched slightly twice. Finally, he made up his mind to stab the patient lightly.
"If it's like this every time, will I get anemia?" Albert muttered softly as he looked at the finished unicorn.
Level 3 is indeed a hurdle.
However, when using experience upgrades, it is not an easy task to upgrade the panel skills to level three by yourself.
Albert looked at his experience pool and skill points, then looked at his skills, and sighed softly. He would never have enough experience.
If I could upgrade the skill to level 4...
Albert quickly dismissed this idea, the experience was far from enough, the only level 4 skill was wizard bloodline, and it was not very obvious to Albert to upgrade this skill to level 4.
Although he was looking forward to the changes that the fourth-level skill would bring, he did not have enough skill points, so the most he could do was to upgrade to the fourth level.
