A certain Hogwarts professor of runes

What does it take to make a "real" magical golem?

First, we need to understand what magical golems are. Simply put, they are things used for guarding the house and property. As far as Felix knows, Hogwarts School has a batch of stone golems, whose manufacturing process is extremely complex, and which have survived for thousands of years, always protecting the safety of Hogwarts.

But when it comes to teaching, there's no need to be so strict.

Find some good clay, mix in an appropriate amount of dragon dung, and add some blood from magical animals—dragon blood is best, of course, but teaching aids should naturally be cheap.

However, he could acquire some high-end combat puppets as part of his private collection...

Felix quickly submitted an application to Professor McGonagall, and after some complicated communication, Professor McGonagall finally agreed to his idea and let him give it a try.

The letter also included a formal letter of appointment and a small bag of Galleons.

Felix quickly gathered the materials for his student-version magical golem. He dug the clay himself, and sourced the dragon dung and magical beast blood from the black market. He then spent three more days traveling between Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, as well as various magical black markets around the world, finally collecting all the high-grade materials for his "deluxe" magical golem.

Felix then wrote to his "dear" Slytherin classmate, temporarily borrowing a house-elf from their home, intending to create a magical version of the production line.

Felix emptied his house and used a Traceless Stretch spell to transform the room into the size of a plaza.

Before him stood a row of house-elves.

"Everyone, I'm leaving the rest to you!" After Felix demonstrated how to make the puppet model, he stepped back and delegated the task.

As for him personally, he's very busy! In addition to redesigning his "deluxe" battle golems and adding various powerful restricted-level rune circuits, he also has to take care of the food problem for his house-pockets so that they can devote themselves to their work.

Felix wasn't just making this up; there's testimony from house-elves to prove it: "Mr. Hyp is truly amazing!" xN

Time slipped away day by day, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had quietly passed.

Felix looked at the hundreds of magical puppet models and was very satisfied, even though none of these models had any magical runes or circuits, and could barely be considered as rough drafts.

But that's enough.

Before parting, Felix prepared a lavish farewell dinner for the house-elves.

"You're so generous!" xN

After reaping another wave of thanks, Felix sent these "volunteer workers" away.

Over the next week, Felix began carving ancient runes of varying difficulty according to the number of students in each grade, while using reinforcement spells to prevent damage, since these all cost money!

Felix worked himself to the bone before he finally got it all sorted out.

"I'm never doing this again, no matter what! It's too damn tiring!"

Felix felt completely drained and his face was pale, but he had taken another big step forward in his understanding of ancient runes.

Picking up a half-finished magic puppet at random, it was a palm-sized (about half a foot) humanoid figure that looked like a scaled-down young man dressed in an Eastern-style school uniform, wearing fingerless black gloves, with golden sun badges embedded in the back of the gloves and the shirt.

After spending a few minutes completing the ancient rune loop, he waved his wand, and the magical puppet immediately came to life.

First, it tentatively moved its hands and feet, kicking and punching. Then, it raised its index finger in a classic pose, paused for a few seconds, and then suddenly swung its arm. A ball of flame the size of a football shot out from its finger along the predetermined ancient magic rune path and flew a good half meter away...

"Hehehehe..."

Felix's magical puppet, although inspired by a fighting game, is not a complete copy; its appearance and moves have been modified.

The magic puppets come in 12 different styles, including handsome men, beautiful women, old people, and children, giving students plenty of options to choose from.

Each puppet, in addition to its basic personality and fighting moves, also has an "external skill" design. However, considering the practical situation, Felix didn't make it too complicated, but rather roughly divided it into four types: "fire," "ice," "lightning," and "cutting."

Taking fire as an example, considering safety issues (we can't underestimate the little wizards' savagery), the "external skill" released by the student version of the magic puppet is just the most ordinary fire, at most it looks cooler.

He was quite knowledgeable in this regard; he even modified a character's skills so that the ultimate move would transform him into a firebird—yes, a phoenix.

Felix was very satisfied; perhaps he could bring a new trend to Hogwarts!

Having settled on the teaching materials, Felix turned his attention to his "deluxe" combat puppet.

There are six in total.

If we had to assign a label to satisfy our imagination, it could be summarized by the following keywords:

The Flame Master is a beautiful young lady;

The Ice Master is a beautiful young lady;

The Thunder Master is a beautiful young lady;

A beautiful young lady who is skilled in cutting;

Speed ​​Master, a beautiful young lady;

Transformers: A Beautiful Young Lady;

Haha, the characteristics are surprisingly similar!

In summary, he added two new types of figures to his collector's edition: the Speed ​​Assassin type and the Shapeshifter/Disruptor type. These six figures are not cheap imitations; they are alchemical creations that he completed using a lot of high-grade materials, inscribed with complex ancient runes, and protected with protective magic.

Take the Flame Master as an example. She is inscribed with a powerful magical flame that is extremely hot and can shoot up to 20 meters away. Its power is enough to shatter half a wall, and she can maintain this combat intensity for ten minutes.

According to his estimation, any one of these six magical puppets could easily defeat a seventh-year graduate.

The six figures combined into one possess ranged attacks, melee combat, speed, charging power, strong attacks, and interference capabilities. They can fight alone, in pairs, in groups of three, four, or even six, with their power increasing exponentially.

Well, Felix thought maliciously that these six puppets could easily hold off an unnamed potions professor for ten minutes!

The only drawback is that it requires a wizard to control it.

But the key point is that Felix himself is far stronger than the magical puppet...

"Useless, useless," Felix shook his head. "It seems there's still a lot of room for improvement."

They should at least be given some combat intelligence.

After looking at the remaining materials, he thought for a moment and decided to mix in some inferior materials to make five more puppets, stronger than the student version but weaker than the collector's version.

Consider it a prize for starting the course; one for each of the five grades!

perfect!

Felix took out a small box and put the teaching aids inside—needless to say, this box was also enchanted with a Seamless Stretch Charm.

Felix didn't think much about his six figurines. He waved his wand, making them float up and fly to a jade-green ring on the index finger of his left hand.

This object, which resembles a storage ring, is actually an alchemical artifact reinforced with a Seamless Stretch Charm and a Stabilizing Rune.

It also has hidden magic runes engraved on it to minimize magical fluctuations, and from the outside it looks like a decorative gemstone ring.

But this ring held a third of his fortune from his travels all over the country!

However, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, and Felix already has two, with only one more to go.

He had already made progress on the third cave a few days ago.
