Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 89: Patronus and Blasting Spell (Please subscribe first, please give me a monthly ticket)
Actively offset most of the core's abilities, leaving only the most special one... This was a possibility that Xi Lun thought of after coming out of Knockturn Alley.

At that time, in order to understand the principle of the "overload" feature, he read many books on wands, and in the book "The Magical Combination of Wands and Potions", he found Zygmunt Bage's views on the wand body.

In the book, he applies his potion master's perspective to the wand, believing that the wand core can also have "choices".

Just like when brewing a potion, you need to process some ingredients in advance, such as removing the skin of the shriveled figs, squeezing out the juice from the sleepy beans, and smoking the lionfish bones in advance.

These operations are all aimed at weakening or highlighting some of the effects of the materials to make the potion more perfect.

If that's the case, why not weaken some of the functions of the wand core to make the wand more perfect?

Zygmunt Bage made this point, but no one paid any attention to it, including himself.

For centuries, everyone thought that this was a illogical topic that Bachi deliberately created to attract the girl's attention.

Because only when the core is more comprehensive, the wand will be more perfect, there is no such thing as weakening the core.

Until Xi Lun turned the page.

Because among the things that Zygmunt Bagelo listed as being able to weaken the core of a wand, dragon blood wood happened to be one of them.

Then he suddenly realized that Zygmunt Bage's ideas coincided with his own.

Isn’t that what happened with the dragon blood wood wand before? It abandoned everything else and only had the Killing Curse left.

The reason may be that Voldemort likes the Killing Curse. If the wand core is replaced with a dragon heartstring, will only the Fire Curse remain?

Of course, if such a wand existed, it would be unsellable, as no one would use it solely for fire spells.

But what if there were ten, twenty, fifty different wands...

This was Xiren's idea, and he temporarily gave this wand a name...directional wand, which means a wand that is fixed to use one spell.

Then he found his grandfather Garrick and ordered a batch of dragon blood wood from the Fire Dragon Reserve in his name, saving a lot of money.

Xi Lun went upstairs happily holding the dragon's blood wood. Garrick Ollivander looked at his back, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

He seemed to have guessed what Xiren was up to, but he couldn't understand why Xiren wanted to make that kind of "defective wand." In fact, he thought that this behavior was simply heresy and a blasphemy against the wand.

But every time he wanted to warn Xi Lun not to do this, the wand with a unicorn core would appear in his mind with light steps, and then casually push back what he wanted to say.

Is there anything more unorthodox than using an entire unicorn as a wand core?
It seems that it is gone.

Garrick Ollivander shook his head, and finally watched Siren disappear at the end of the stairs.

"He may not succeed." Garrick thought so, because the characteristics of the wand core are only theories, and there is no evidence to show that the Dragon Heartstring Wand is definitely suitable for fire magic. It's just that the probability is higher.

Also, not all healers at St. Mungo's use unicorn tail hair.

Dingling... the crisp sound interrupted his thoughts.

A customer came in, followed by Professor Flitwick, obviously a freshman who came to buy a wand.

"Just a guess!" Garrick muttered, looking away from the stairs.

……

In the days before school started, Siren spent most of his time wrestling with the dragon's blood wood. Fred and George would occasionally come to Diagon Alley to ask him for tips on wand making.

It's not a real wand, but a new joke prop they came up with. It looks exactly like a wand on the surface, but if someone tries to use it to cast magic, the wand will turn into a rubber toy.

In order to make their work more realistic and not be recognized at a glance, the two found Xi Lun.

Xi Lun sold them a bottle of pine oil for five gallons. After soaking it for a while, the appearance of the fake wand immediately changed dramatically.

Although there are still flaws, most wizards should not be able to tell the difference.

In order to express their gratitude, they also invited Xi Lun to visit the burrow, but Xi Lun did not go because he was now fully focused on the dragon blood wood.

This process was much more difficult than he had imagined, and there were several long-lost wand explosions along the way.

It must be said that dragon blood wood is more powerful than cherry wood. Every few days, people in Diagon Alley can watch an exciting "big fireworks" through the second-floor window of Ollivander's Wand Shop.

If neighbors came to ask about the situation, Garrick Ollivander would tell them, "It's okay, it's okay. Xi Lun is protected by the Shield Charm and is not hurt."

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words that day, there was another roar above his head, and a few wisps of dust were shaken out from the cracks in the ceiling and fell on Garrick and Florin Fusco's heads.

Florin Fusco's face was filled with shock, but Garrick acted as if nothing had happened. He calmly waved his wand and cleared away the dust.

In fact, this was already considered a small amount. He still remembered that the first explosion of this magnitude occurred upstairs half a month ago, and the dust that fell was like rain.

The ceiling has been shaken clean by now.

Meanwhile, on the second floor.

Siren looked at the table with a hole in it and released the troll wand in his hand with lingering fear. Fortunately, he had not given the wand to Hagrid so quickly before, and fortunately, he had asked Garrick to use the Shield Charm with it in advance.

[Inertness]: Records the first spell cast by the wizard. After that, no matter what spell is recited or what gestures are used, all magic will be converted into the originally recorded spell.

Now, as long as Xiren holds this magic wand, he can protect himself in a very short time and rely on the armor spell to offset the damage caused by the explosion.

Garrick had a hard time. After using the troll wand once, he was confused for several days.

But this is not important. Garrick is an excellent veteran wand maker. He can adjust his own, just like when he first learned that Xi Lun could make a wand from the Red Hat's heart nerve.

Xi Lun picked up the silver mane and swung it skillfully.

"Restored to the original condition!"

The shattered tables and windows were restored to their original state.

Xilun looked at the irreparable wood pieces and sighed slightly. This was the last dragon blood wood staff.

Although the process is dangerous, it is nothing compared to the rewards.

Xi Lun opened the deformed lizard skin bag at hand and took out five wands from it.

[Dragon Blood Wood, Unicorn Tail Hair, 11 Inches]

Status: Unbalanced

[Features: Spell Effect -70%; Water Spell +35%]

Xilun has tested it and found that these two characteristics are independent. The Water Cleansing Spell will not be weakened by the spell and is the only spell that is not affected.

……

[Dracaena, Red Cap Heart Nerve, 12 and a third inches]

[Features: Spell Effect -70%; Tearing Spell +30%]

……

[…Acromantula Leg…Binding Spell +40%]

Seeing this, Xi Lun almost laughed out loud. What does 40% mean? Even if your binding spell can only barely tie up a rabbit, as long as you know how to use it, you can immediately reach the standard of an Auror after getting this wand.

Directly upgraded from A (pass) to O (excellent)

If an Auror were to use it, he might even be able to rival Dumbledore... Well, that's if Dumbledore doesn't use the Elder Wand.

Xi Lun still doesn't know what the legendary magic wand looks like or what special abilities it has.

Oh, there are two left.

If he almost laughed when he saw the binding spell wand, then these two would make Xiren no longer "almost" laughing.

[Dracaena, unicorn tail hair, 1/12 inches]

Status: Unbalanced

[Features: Spell Effect -70%; Patronus Charm +25%]

……

Dragon Bloodwood, Dragon Heartstring, 13 inches

Status: Unbalanced

[Features: Spell Effect -70%; Blasting Spell +25%]

……

A 25% positive bonus is not much, and it can even be said to be the lowest among these five wands, but when you look at the two golden names of the Patronus Charm and the Blasting Charm, your mood changes again.

The Patronus Charm, a recognized high-level spell, is the only way to resist Dementors and one of the abilities that Aurors must master.

Explosive Spell: One of the most powerful offensive spells that an ordinary wizard can learn, and also the spell that excites Xiren the most.

The moment I saw it, all the previous explosions suddenly seemed interesting.

More importantly, it's not a one-time thing.

From this point of view, [Overload] should come from Voldemort's soul. Of course, it may also be because the dragon blood wood is not old enough. In any case, Xi Lun has never encountered it again.

But this is just right. As long as Xiren can learn the blasting spell, he can use this wand all the time, which just makes up for his current lack of offensive spells.
