Chapter 248 Protective Bracelet Version 2.0
Unfortunately, making wands is a technical job.
Of course, as long as he is willing to learn, Albert can definitely learn it himself, but the wand he makes will definitely not be as good as Ollivander. After all, he is a professional wand maker and has had experience for several generations. Unless Albert is willing to spend a lot of experience and skill points on making wands, in Albert's eyes, it is obviously more cost-effective to buy one from Ollivander for 10 Galleons.
Sure enough, it would be 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 already formed protective bracelet. It was a wooden bracelet made of mandrake roots. Only the ancient magic words were left on it and had not been carved on it.
Albert has been waiting for his magic text to reach level three. Currently, he is still close to two thousand experience points short of it. The further you go, the harder it is to gain experience. Just like when a high-level character fights low-level monsters, his experience will be greatly reduced.
Originally, was Albert still 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 advance to level three on his own, he would probably have to wait until next year, when the day lilies would be cold. He was not angry and said with emotion: "But it's great to have plug-ins!"
As he spoke, Albert directly upgraded the magic text skill on the panel to level three, then closed his eyes and began to read the extra information about magic text 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 they can also fabricate some memories to confuse those who peek at them.
After reaching the third level of rune magic, there is indeed a lot more knowledge, which is almost the same as what Albert guessed. This part of the knowledge is related to rune magic.
The use of 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 both belong to independent magic systems.
This is one of the reasons why Gubler's Fairy Fire is regarded as a very advanced spell. Even many wizards use it, and Professor Flitwick will only briefly mention it in upper-level Charms classes.
Hmm, Ravenclaw’s treasure?
Albert recalled what he saw in the secret room and guessed the way to open the secret room.
“Interesting.” He curled his lips and whispered to himself. He did want to return to the Room of Requirement now, but he still suppressed his inner anxiety.
Refocus your attention on the previously designed defensive runes.
Looking at the runes on the note, Albert was a little dumbfounded. It felt like he was watching a child trying to use his own understanding to explain something beyond their cognition. I can't say that it was completely wrong, but it just felt a bit...well, childish.
That’s right, it’s a bit childish.
In fact, when you really master it, you will understand what is going on.
Albert picked up the quill pen and began to modify the runes and revise the above content. He redesigned the runes on the protective bracelet and slowly carved them with the ceremonial knife. After finishing, he cut his finger with a knife, let the blood drip on the runes, and chanted a spell to activate the runes. Not much different from what was previously known, then, the final step is to cast a spell on the protective bracelet.
The spell uses magic words, and its effect is similar to the iron armor spell, but the effect is more powerful.
If I have to say it, I feel that this thing is now a magic prop. The number of times it is used has nothing to do with the wizard. Although it is not a one-time item, there is a limit on how many times it can be used, and the protective effect will gradually fade. It weakens and takes time to recover, a bit like the cooldown time of props in the game, which makes Albert find it very interesting.
As for how long the cooling time of this magic item is, Albert actually doesn’t know.
“Healed as before”
Albert raised his wand and swiped 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 used by wizards now. It usually requires sustenance to make the magic more powerful.
Gublai Immortal Fire is an example.
Of course, the reason why the Gubulai Fairy Fire can continue to burn is actually related to the materials used to make it. Its handle is made of sycamore wood, and the feathers of the phoenix are needed. Just like the answer to the riddle of the eagle ring, the phoenix and the Fire itself is a cycle, which is why the immortal fire of Gubulai is immortal.
"The devil's flame doesn't seem to be extinguished easily." Albert murmured, "It's just that it's not easy to control. However, the devil's flame will swallow up everything, but the Gubler fairy fire will not.
Speaking of which, if Gubrai's Immortal Fire can be regarded as a skill, does the protective bracelet you invented also count as a skill?
After Albert had this idea, he opened his skill panel and looked through it carefully. He couldn't find the skill of protective bracelet, but he found a brand new skill called amulet.
The amulet's skill level is almost level 1.
“So, this thing is actually a kind of amulet?” Albert retracted his gaze, looked at the protective bracelet on his hand, and murmured.
However, Albert didn't mind whether the skill was an amulet or a protective bracelet. He directly upgraded it to level two, and then continued to read through 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. After thinking about it, he took out the unicorn statue he was going to give to Isobel and carved the required runes on it without spending much money.
However, during the bloodletting, Albert still hesitated a little. He took his knife and looked at his thumb, his face twitched slightly, and finally he pricked it gently.
“If it happens like this every time, will I be anemic?” Albert muttered, looking at the completed unicorn.
Level 3 is indeed a hurdle.
However, when using experience upgrades, it is not easy to upgrade the panel skills to level three by yourself.
Albert looked at his experience pool and skill points, then at his skills, and sighed. There is never enough experience.
If you can upgrade your skills to level 4...
Albert quickly gave up this idea. The experience was far from enough. The only level 4 was wizard blood. It was not very obvious for Albert to upgrade this skill to level 4.
Although he was somewhat looking forward to the changes that level 4 would bring, the skill points were not enough and he could only upgrade to level 4 at most.
