The fact that Albert had the ability to predict the future was confirmed to be a "rumor" and was soon forgotten by the students.
Yes, it's very interesting. Everyone's memory is short, only a few days, and they will soon be attracted by new topics.
As for their new topic now, it came from the fact that Albert submitted a paper on "Advanced Application of Transfiguration Spells" at a gathering of the Transfiguration Club not long ago.
After being revised by Professor McGonagall, this paper was submitted to "Transfiguration Today", which caused a stir.
The general content of the paper is to build a "video and text" communication platform similar to a Muggle phone by using advanced transformation spells.
All right!
This thing has actually gone beyond the scope of students. Many wizards have not been able to master the advanced use of spells, and wizards who can deeply explore the effects of spells are even rarer.
The fact that a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry could come up with such an architectural concept undoubtedly shocked many people. In particular, the understanding and application of the Transmutation Spell in the paper showed the author's understanding and cognition of this field.
When the paper first came out of "Today's Transformation Magazine", it immediately attracted a lot of attention, especially from students who knew that Albert was still a student. Every time they saw Albert, they would look at him with admiration and complexity.
With that paper, Albert won this year's "Transfiguration Today's Most Promising Newcomer Award", which is undoubtedly a great honor.
Many students believe that Albert has surpassed the level of the S exam in the field of Transfiguration.
However, little did people know that the paper was just a blueprint for magic communication that Albert came up with on a whim when he was studying the two-way mirror.
The simplest way is actually to build a communication book. When you need it, open the book, find the target page according to the catalog, and then contact the other party through something like a two-way mirror. Whether using text or video, the disadvantage is that it is not very convenient to carry.
Albert plans to put it into action in the near future. Even if most wizards in the magical world do not buy it, he believes that men and women in love will also need a two-way mirror to chat on the phone.
This is more practical than writing a letter.
Before that, Albert needs to master the advanced transformation spell first. The advanced use of spells is really not easy to master, and he needs to continue practicing.
Of course, the advanced transmutation spell is easier to master than the advanced patronus spell. Although it will not appear on the skill panel, Albert has indeed mastered a small number of advanced application techniques of the transmutation spell.
If he is willing to invest enough experience or skill points in the Transfiguration Spell, he should be able to quickly master the advanced use of the Transfiguration Spell, but Albert still needs to consider the distribution of experience.
Although there is indeed a lot of experience accumulated in the experience pool, experience is usually not enough, and he usually only selectively upgrades more important skills to the first or second level.
Most of the time, Albert would practice the spells taught in the textbooks by himself. His wizard bloodline gave him a great advantage.
In the busy campus life, time began to slowly move towards the end of September, and the rainy season in Scotland officially began.
The frequent rain is really annoying, especially when taking herbal medicine classes outdoors. I always get covered in mud, cold, wet and exhausted.
Care of Magical Creatures classes are also taught outdoors, which can be very troublesome when it rains.
Albert still remembered one time when everyone was having class outdoors with umbrellas. In the end, it rained so heavily that Professor Kettlebery moved the class to the nearby forest so that everyone could hide under the trees and listen to him explain how to raise bowtruckles.
However, there are always a few things to be happy about during this depressing, wet rainy season.
What made Albert most happy was that he got a new task from Mr. Adolphe Fournier.
The name of the task is "Equivalent Exchange."
The content is very simple, which is to make an equal exchange with what both parties need.
Adolphe Fournier needed the method of making a two-sided mirror, while Albert needed Adolphe Fournier's knowledge of alchemy.
The task requires that both parties maintain relatively equal and voluntary transactions in this process.
It can be interpreted as not to suffer losses.
Just a few days ago, Mr. Adolphe Fournier got the remaining information about the two-sided mirror as he wished. Of course, the information that Albert gave him came from the records and descriptions in the Golden Book.
In exchange for knowledge, Albert also obtained a lot of useful alchemical knowledge from Mr. Adolphe Fournier, and the method of making the peephole was one of them.
The speculum was not invented by Mr. Adolphe Fournier.
There is almost no awareness of protecting intellectual property rights in the wizarding world. As long as you can learn it, basically anyone can use it. Therefore, formulas like Floo Powder are kept firmly in the hands of Wildsmith, who values knowledge, to ensure that the method of making Floo Powder will not leak out, thereby protecting his own interests from infringement.
This kind of thing naturally has its disadvantages. The methods of making some spells and magical items may be lost due to the death of the inventor and maker.
It is worth mentioning that, at Albert's request, Adolphe Fournier has completed the research theory on the magic lamp, which is similar to the thinking mode of the memory ball. He makes a container and uses the wizard's wand as an igniter. When the wizard uses fluorescent flash on the container, the magic lamp will be lit by the wand.
Well, it’s actually a magic version of an oil lamp.
The disadvantage is that it cannot last long and is not as practical as imagined.
Albert used the method he got from Adolphe Fournier to make himself a magic lamp that could only light up for ten seconds.
Fortunately, the panel skill does include the alchemical skill of "Magic Lamp".
At that time, Tom, who witnessed this process, was frightened and slapped the magic lamp to the ground.
The first magic lamp experiment was swept into the trash by a cat on the spot.
In fact, Albert wanted Dumbledore's technology more, but unfortunately Adolphe Fournier was unable to provide him with technical and knowledge support, which was beyond his understanding.
I can only say that alchemy sometimes really requires a lot of knowledge.
Shortly after Adolphe Fournier obtained the remaining information, he sent Albert a pair of two-sided mirrors as a gift.
Of course, there was a bit of ostentation in this gift, but Albert didn't care. He was thinking about whether to send a two-way mirror home.
As for this transaction, Albert made no loss at all. He gained several more alchemical skills on his panel, completed the "equivalent transaction" task, gained several thousand experience points, and obtained a two-sided mirror. The magic lamp task was also settled. It was a huge profit.
