From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Ivy looked at the unique crown in his hand. When it was Voldemort's Horcrux, each gem on it looked dazzling, and the golden crown body also looked in good condition, making people want to wear it on their heads.

But when Ivy used the energy draining spell to remove the dark magic attached to it by Voldemort, the condition of the crown changed a little. It looked like it was covered with a layer of dust, the clear gems became turbid and obscure, and the golden crown seemed to have faded and turned pale and dim.

After holding the dull Ravenclaw crown in his hand and examining it for a while, Ivy decided to use the 1st ring spell identification spell to see its quality.

As a ritual spell, when the identification spell is ready, the caster can know what the object he is touching is. If it is a magic item, the caster will know its characteristics, how to use it, whether it needs to be synchronized, and even its material and craftsmanship. If a certain spell is affecting this item, or this item is created by a certain spell, then the caster will also know the detailed information of that spell.

It turns out that Ravenclaw's crown came from a silversmith from the Holy Roman Empire. He was brought to the British Isles from the European continent by Viking pirates. Rowena Ravenclaw saved his life. In order to thank Ravenclaw for saving his life, he personally made this silver crown.

Ravenclaw loved this crown from the Muggle world very much, but was afraid that Slytherin, who was also one of the four giants, would take hostile actions against Muggles. Therefore, after getting this crown, he cast a spell to eliminate the memory of the Muggle silversmith, but the gratitude of the Muggle silversmith was still read by Ivy's spell after a thousand years.

For a person like Rowena Ravenclaw, wearing a crown made by a Muggle is obviously a loss of status, so she used magic to gild the crown and gave it magical powers with advanced magic. Legend has it that everyone who wears it will become smarter.

The identification technique also told Ivy that Ravenclaw's crown is a damaged ancient item that must be repaired through magic rituals and special expertise to restore its glory. If this is not done, then Ravenclaw's crown is just a simple valuable item, worth about 1,500 gold coins.

As a silver crown that has been well preserved for thousands of years, even if Ravenclaw's crown has lost the magic of one of the founders of Hogwarts, it is still a historical item of great significance. Whether in the wizarding world or the Muggle world, it should not be worth only this price.

But the spells in the DND world view have their own set of judgment standards. As the center of the kingdom of heaven, there have been countless kingdoms in the world of Toril, and each king has his own crown. When excavating ancient ruins or taking interesting adventures, smart and brave adventurers will occasionally find some valuable items with considerable value, including various gold and silver objects.

Therefore, the wizards have made a very general price classification for these gold and silver objects. As a crown, as long as it has no magical effect, the value is certain. The bronze crown inlaid with jewels is worth 250 gold coins, and the crown of Ravenclaw is a silver crown inlaid with jewels, worth 1,500 gold coins. If it is pure gold, it is worth 7,500 gold coins.

Of course, Ivy will not pawn it out. The only pawn business in the magic world is Gringotts. Ivy has always had a bad relationship with the goblins and has never saved money in Gringotts. If he were to go to Gringotts, it would be hard to say what would happen.

Moreover, the identification technique also told Ivy that the Ravenclaw Diadem was an ancient item, which could be restored to its former glory after being repaired.

Ivy had never heard of the term "heirloom item", so the first thing he thought of was, of course, to look for relevant information in the Destruction Grimoire.

Soon he discovered that "heirloom items" refer to items that are circulated in specific legends and stories. Through specific magic rituals, they can be repaired and inherited, and even the new potential of heirloom items can be tapped.

The legend of the Ravenclaw Diadem has been circulating in Hogwarts for a thousand years. Almost all wizards who come here to study have heard of this magical magic crown, but all those who try to find it can only leave with disappointment in the end, until Voldemort got the relevant information from Helena Ravenclaw, and then took it out from the Black Forest in Albania and made it into a Horcrux.

From this point of view, it can undoubtedly meet the title of ancient item, but as a magic item in the HP world, can it really play a role in the world view of DND? Is the Ravenclaw crown, which has been restored and activated after the ancient ritual, still the founder's relic that has been circulating in the legend of the Hogwarts campus?

Ivy doesn't know the answers to these questions, but he is a pragmatist. He doesn't care about a crown that has lost its magic. He must make it play its role.

Performing the ritual of restoring ancient items requires the holder to have enough historical knowledge to figure out its past, but Ivy reads the most magic books, and his knowledge of ancient British history is limited to what he got from various film and television works, and I don't know how many times he has processed it. For example, King Arthur is a girl?

So it is obviously impossible to perform the ritual by ordinary means, but Ivy is a wizard, and a wizard with the Destruction Grimoire. He only needs to spend 2500 experience points to exchange for the 5th ring prophecy spell mastery legend. Isn't it more than enough to figure out the ancient ritual of a crown?

However, Ivy still underestimated Ravenclaw's crown. The 5th ring spell mastery legend was released successfully, but the information Ivy got was only a simple sentence: "Decorated with gold powder, decorated with evening stars, reappearing Ravenclaw's way, it will crown the holder as the crown of wisdom."

Although it doesn't look complicated, it is not easy to do. "Decorated with gold powder" is of course simple, and it must refer to the fact that Ravenclaw used magic to gild the silver crown, but "decorated with evening stars" and the following "reappearing Ravenclaw's way" don't look so straightforward. This crown can't really be decorated with stars in the sky, right?

So Ivy speculated that the so-called "evening star" might refer to a gem called "evening star" or some behavior related to the stars in the night sky; and recreating the Ravenclaw Road is more general. Whether it is a road in the physical sense, academic achievements or life experiences, it can be called a road. Ravenclaw is also a famous witch, and there are countless anecdotes and legends related to her. No matter what form of "road" is possible.

Now that the specific method has been learned, of course we have to give it a try. Anyway, it is not difficult to gild the crown with magic, not to mention that Ivy also has advanced alchemy products such as the Philosopher's Stone.

Ivy also plans to make some changes to the appearance of the Ravenclaw crown. Because this crown is given to a lady, it does not look like the well-known ring structure, but looks more like a hairpin or headdress. Silver bars and diamonds together form outstretched wings, and in the middle of the soft curved wings is a lifelike eagle statue.

Ivy imagined that Rowena Ravenclaw might wear this crown on her hair bun, rather than as a replacement for a hat. This can also explain why this crown does not form a closed structure like the crown people know, but only has a slight arc that fits the head shape.

In order to show his heroism, Ivy plans to change the soft but drooping eagle wings of the crown into flamboyant flying feathers, and change the flat side-facing eagle head into a posture that looks at the world with a look of envy. This new crown will be a masterpiece that fits Ivy's temperament.

The magic of the Philosopher's Stone took effect quickly, and the permanent transformation gave Ravenclaw's crown an upgrade. It is no longer what it used to be. As the golden light shines from the crown again, it also restores a certain amount of magical ability.

First of all, it is a +4 intelligence crown, which can allow the wearer to gain 4 points of intelligence. Together with Ivy's own 16 points of intelligence, he can now learn and understand even the 9th ring spell without any obstacles.

Judging from this effect alone, wearing the crown of Ravenclaw can indeed make people gain wisdom.

"Ah, the world has never been so clear!" Ivy put this golden crown on his head. When the new wisdom took over, he suddenly felt that his whole brain was much smoother, just like a single-core processor replaced with a quad-core processor, and the operating efficiency was more than doubled.

Opening the Destruction Grimoire, a new profession appeared on his attribute panel.

Legendary Fighter (Level 1)

The Legendary Fighter studies history and searches for lost power from the pile of old papers. By establishing an inseparable link with an ancient item, the Legendary Fighters gain magical powers. They can more easily know the content of the ceremony and use the ancient items more frequently, and even customize those abilities according to their needs. The unique ancient treasure will gradually become like a personal item in their hands. The Legendary Fighter will bring new vitality to it, change the image of the ancient item, and compose new songs for the faded legend.

This is an advanced profession. Ivy can obtain the professional characteristics of the original profession (including professional abilities and new spell levels, known spells) when upgrading the level of the Legendary Fighter, but first, he must consider which profession to add the level of the Legendary Fighter to.

Now, in addition to the 16th-level wizard and the 10th-level ancient magic wizard from the HP world, Ivy also has two professions: the Scribe Mage and the Dazzling Warlock. The former reached level 11 after killing Qi Luo, which is enough to support him to release 6-level spells. The latter has not been upgraded since it created the Art Elemental Garden and obtained the first level of Xiaoyan. Therefore, Xiaoyan’s intelligence is not high, which is entirely because Ivy’s Dazzling Warlock level is only 1.

If the professional level of the Legendary Fighter is added to the Scribe Mage, then this profession will absorb the experience value of one level, making Ivy’s Scribe Spell level 10, and the professional level of the Legendary Fighter is still level 1, which is equivalent to the fusion of the Legendary Fighter as an advanced profession and the Scribe Mage profession. Because the upper limit of the professional level of the Ancient Fighter is only level 10, Ivy cannot rely on raising the professional level to break through the limit of Legend (level 20).

But if he adds the professional level of the Ancient Fighter to the Dazzling Warlock, the professional level of the Dazzling Warlock will reach level 2 (level 1 Dazzling Warlock, level 1 Ancient Fighter), which is equivalent to Ivy getting one level of experience for nothing. However, if he does this, Ivy will not be able to invest experience points in the Ancient Fighter before the Dazzling Warlock reaches level 5.

A perfect poem, a post, a content, a 6-9 book, a forum, and a look!

Although getting one level of experience for free sounds good, upgrading from level 1 to level 2 doesn't consume much experience points, and it's not even enough for Ivy to exchange for a 2nd-level mage spell. After all, it takes 900 experience points to upgrade from level 1 to level 2, and Ivy needs 1,000 experience points to exchange for a 2nd-level spell, so there is really no cost-effectiveness in doing so.

Only scribes can be mages. This profession gains the fourth school of professional ability at level 10, called scribe master, which can create a magic scroll with the effect of upgrading the spell, but the spell is limited to 1st or 2nd ring, and only the caster can use it. It is a professional ability that is icing on the cake, and can only be considered average, but its additional ability is still useful, which can reduce the time and money spent by Ivy when making regular magic scrolls by half.

If Ivy is a poor mage who makes a living by copying spell scrolls in another world, this ability can indeed lead him to wealth. But with the Philosopher's Stone in hand, Ivy can easily earn 10,000 gold coins as long as he works hard for 8 hours. Which 6th-ring wizard has such money ability?

After level 10, the Scribe Wizard has only three professional abilities, namely, the 14th-level Human-Book Integration, which gives the Scribe Wizard an advantage in intelligence checks, and can avoid fatal damage by temporarily forgetting the spells in the spell book. It is a pretty good way to save life, and it is more or less a trump card.

Then there is the 18th-level Spell Mastery, which can release a 1st-ring and a 2nd-ring spell at will without consuming spell slots. Ivy thinks the greatest value of this professional ability is to release the 1st-ring Scholar's Touch, which reads a book in 6 seconds without any other cost. It is so valuable.

Finally, there is the 20th-level Signature Spell, which allows the Scribe Wizard to always prepare two 3rd-ring spells, and they can be released without consumption every time they rest. For Ivy, who doesn't lack spell slots, the greatest value of this professional ability is "always preparing two third-level spells", which means that he can free up some brain capacity to memorize other spells. However, after having the Ravenclaw Crown +4 Intelligence, the value of these two prepared spells is not very great, not to mention that you have to reach level 20 to get them.

From this point of view, Ivy has already obtained all the signature abilities of the Scribe Wizard, so adding the professional level of the Ancient Fighter to it is the most cost-effective choice.

Not to mention that the Ancient Fighter can also allow you to obtain many bonus feats, which is much more generous than the Scribe Wizard who can only obtain one at level 4, and it is worthy of being a noble advanced profession.

So Ivy did not hesitate any more and advanced his Scribe Wizard to a level 1 Ancient Fighter, and obtained new professional abilities, free rituals and knowledge links.

The former allows Ivy to complete the ritual of the ancient items without spending money, and the latter can easily allow Ivy to read the ritual requirements of the ancient items without consuming a 5th-ring spell slot to release the Legend of Mastery.
