A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

In the afternoon, Harry followed the team to the Quidditch Stadium for training.

During the short Christmas holiday, Wood thought about three targeted tactics to deal with the new characteristics and new tactics displayed by other colleges this year.

Others return to the castle to do their homework.

Near the evening, the ancient magic text office.

Felix is ​​checking Hermione's learning progress-recently, she has been working hard for the improvement and upgrade of the beaded pouch.

"You have learned all the magic texts needed to upgrade the beaded pouch. The next very important step is to learn how to build the magic text circuit."

"Professor, what is the difference?" Hermione asked.

"The description of a single magic text is relatively simple, but if you want to connect them into a loop, you need to consider the stability and balance of the whole magic text-this is a very test of your ability to control magic."

Felix's fingers kept flicking, dragging out a string of letters from the air. These letters were divided into three rows, each with a slight difference in brightness and size.

"If this is the magic text you completed in different time, the brightness represents how much magic you have injected."

Hermione looked at the letters, and then, under the control of Professor Haipu, they shuffled the order and arranged them in a row.

The rearranged letters appear chaotic, bright, dim, large, and small mixed together, looking disorderly and awkward.

She suddenly understood what Professor Haipu meant by ‘stable and balanced’—every magic text in the loop should be as consistent as possible.

"Even a slight difference in magic power will make the circuit useless." Felix said.

"Professor, what should I do?"

"There are two methods. The first is to complete the writing of the magic text in one go. If you do it in one go, your magic will tend to be more consistent. Of course, it still requires a lot of practice."

"But in this way, you need to actively adjust the structure of the magic text and make some slight changes... This is not what you can do now."

"But won't this make the magic text invalid?" Hermione asked in amazement. All the information she came into contact with was to write the magic text properly, and no change was allowed.

"This is the fascinating part of it." Felix gave an example: "This process is a bit like the process from letters to words. When we learn letters, we will ask for standards and norms as much as possible, but when we need to When combining letters into words, the letters are slightly adjusted to better suit the smoothness and beauty of the writing."

"This method tests your understanding of the magic text." Felix said implicitly.

To put it bluntly, you don't have a deep understanding of the magic text, so don't play any tricks.

Hermione nodded seemingly.

"There are also some skills in this, we will talk about it later. The second way is to pull out the magic lines after completing a single magic text, and open them one by one to form a closed and stable loop."

Hermione had seen this way several times, and she was no stranger to it.

"Let's try it—"

Felix and Hermione came to the workbench and took out a few chestnut chips.

He opened an exquisite tool box, which was lined up with seven large and small carving knives of different materials-metal, wood, and some invisible materials.

"Is this a professional magic tool? Where can I buy it?" The little witch couldn't help asking.

In her heart, these carving knives have been equated with magic wands, and they have become an indispensable tool for her to learn ancient magic texts.

As a result, Professor Haipu said with an amused expression: "These are made by myself, um...except for the metal one."

He was not in a hurry to continue the topic just now, instead he placed the carving knife in front of her one by one.

"First of all, I want to remind you that there are no specific tool requirements for depicting the magic text. A carving knife, a magic wand, or a finger can be used. The most important thing is the magic and your understanding of the magic text. But—"

"If there are more handy tools, why refuse?"

Hermione nodded, expressing understanding. Just like some wizards who are proficient in wandless spellcasting, they never refuse to use magic wands. Because tools can help them complete more refined operations.

There are seven carving knives in front of her.

The first is a metal carving knife. The silver-white blade is streamlined, with a clear arc at the handshake, and the tip of the knife seems to be made of other metals.

Felix said: "I bought this one from a mini-carving merchant. It is the metal material that I have repeatedly compared and the least rejection of magic."

Hermione took the carving knife, which looked a little heavy, but unexpectedly light.

"I told you that the form of depicting magic text is not unique. You can either use writing to leave the magic text on the surface of the object, or you can use the form of carving to leave a mark on the material."

He picked up a piece of chestnut wood and injected magic power into the metal carving knife. The tip of the metal carving knife burst out with a small but hot red light, leaving a magic text on the chestnut wood chip.

"You see, its surface is not flat."

Hermione touched the surface of the engraved text with her fingertips, and she could clearly feel the traces of the chestnut wood sinking downwards-this was the mark left by the metal cutter.

"This method is especially suitable for inert magical materials, such as Muggle items, ordinary stones, or the scales of some magical creatures, etc."

Hermione understood a little bit. For inert magic materials ~www.readwn.com~, the magic power is not easy to maintain, and the engraved traces can be used to strengthen the form of the magic text.

"Actually—" Felix added: "This process is separate—sculpting and infusing magic. I'm just very proficient in this process, so I combined these two steps together. When you practice, you still It must be done separately."

One of his backhands: ‘Felix’s Wisdom Teeth’, is done in this way.

Hermione nodded.

Felix took out five more wooden carving knives in a row. They looked a bit like alternative magic wands. Hermione had only seen the twins' fake wands during the day and was very impressed.

"These carving knives use the same material as the wand, and their characteristics are similar to when they were made into a wand." Felix pointed to the past one by one--

"The Carving Knife of El Tochigi is very difficult for beginners to use. It is particularly sensitive to magic. In fact, it is too sensitive. But once you master it, it will quickly adapt to the master’s magic and become extremely personal. Others simply Not available;"

"The ebony carving knife has outstanding performance in depicting offensive magic texts. Of course, it is not easy to control it. It will cooperate with those masters who have the courage to be themselves and do not follow the trend;"

"The red oak carving knife, I personally think, it has a certain degree of memory. When you are proficient, it will take the initiative to guide you to complete the magic text;"

"The chestnut carving knife, the beginner's favorite, there is no preference, of course, there is no bonus;"

"You don't need to consider these for the time being, that chestnut carving knife is for your practice." Felix said: "After a few years, you need to consider the issue of exclusive carving knife."

"By the way, what material is your wand made of?" Felix asked.

"It's vine wood," said Hermione. "The core is a dragon's heartstring, twelve and four-fifths of an inch."
