Wizards of Hogwarts

"Is this my new wand?"

Elrohir looked at the silver basswood wand lying quietly in the brown paper box, and for a moment she couldn't find any adjectives to describe it.

Among the four top wand makers in North America, the wands made by Shicoba Wolfe are famous for their fine carvings and are especially cherished by shapeshifters.

On this silver basswood wand, Ms. Wolfe has brought the witch's innate talent for meticulousness to the extreme, making people wonder whether this is a wand or a delicate and elegant work of art.

Elrohir took out the silver basswood wand from the paper box and let the system detect the item information.

The light blue panel expands.

Item name: Silver basswood wand

Introduction: This is a wand carefully crafted by Shicoba Wolfe, one of the four most famous wand makers in North America in the early 20th century. Perhaps more people would consider it an exquisite piece of equipment than a wizard's weapon. The ultimate work of art.

Length: Thirteen inches

Material: silver basswood, elf hair

Quality: Rare

Description: This is a wand made of a wand core material from another world. Due to the characteristics of magic wood, this wand is especially suitable for legilimens and prophets. It also has an extraordinary auxiliary effect in the performance of transfiguration.

A very powerful wand, at least much higher quality than the aspen wand before.

However, Elrohir saw another point. The system still did not give any information on the wand's item description, such as comments such as "This is a wand suitable for elves."

It shouldn't be. The material of elf hair has obviously been mixed into the wand. Perhaps the information collected so far is not comprehensive.

Just as Elrohir was thinking about the silver basswood wand, Ms. Wolf also spoke.

"Do you feel anything?" she asked.

"Well" Elrohir came back to her senses and looked at Ms. Wolfe who was sitting behind the workbench, "This wand is very good, I like it very much. Thank you, Ms. Wolfe."

"No." Ms. Wolfe smiled and waved her hand and said, "That's not what I mean. What I want to say is, Elrohir, do you have a very suitable feeling for this wand?"

Lady Wolfe stared at Elrohir.

As a famous wand maker, Ms. Wolff naturally makes no mistakes in making wands. In her opinion, this silver basswood wand uses an unknown material "elf hair" as the wand core. The production level is close to the peak of his career. At least among the wands he has made before, there are few that can compare with this silver basswood wand.

What's more, Ms. Wolfe also added her own unique skills to this "off-the-beaten-path" wand suitable for legilimens and prophets, so that the wand can still have a certain assisting effect when casting transformation spells.

Since the quality of the wand is so high, Ms. Wolfe naturally has deep expectations for the user of the wand. She does not want to see this excellent quality wand follow an owner who has a poor fit. .

Yes, as a wand maker, Ms. Wolff firmly believes that the relationship between a wand and a wizard is not an ordinary tool and a person. Both parties have their own choices.

The wizard chooses the wand, and the wand chooses the wizard.

Wizards and wands with low compatibility will not only fail to achieve each other, but will actually drag each other down.

"Fit" Elrohir secretly muttered this word twice in his heart.

Is there such a thing as compatibility between a wand and a wizard? Elrohir didn't know.

All he knew was that holding this exquisite silver basswood wand in his hand at this moment had no essential difference in feeling from holding the fairy feather sword in his hand.

just like

It was as if he were just holding a slender stick made of silver basswood.

When Ms. Wolfe saw Elrohir not speaking for a long time, she thought something was wrong.However, in her opinion, this silver basswood wand is indeed suitable for use by specific objects, such as Legilimens.

Let Elrohir try the magic wand effect.

"Adult wizards do not have the lively magic power of child wizards. After undergoing long-term training and study in magic schools, the magic power in their bodies will tend to be stable overall, and will not change like child wizards when they first come into contact with the wand. You will directly sense the existence of magic power." Ms. Wolfe said, "Perhaps this silver basswood wand does not suit your past usage habits of Elrohir, but you can try to cast some simple spells. "

A simple spell?

Elrohir raised his eyes and looked at Ms. Wolfe, recalling the contents of the basic spell. He held the wand in his hand, pointed the tip of the wand at the lid of the paper box on the counter, and whispered: "Soften quickly. "

The Softening Curse is the first spell recorded in Basic Spells. In this spells textbook for first-year students at Ilvermorny School, the Softening Curse is also the simplest spell.

However, nothing happened.

The lid of the paper box did not become soft as expected, or even softened a small part.

I tried using the softening spell a few more times, but nothing happened.

Elrohir pursed his lips. In this attempt, he undoubtedly failed again, even though he was holding the world's unique "Elven Wand" in his hand.

According to what was said above about basic spells, softening spells are not difficult for freshmen who have just entered school.It only needs to firmly hold the idea of ​​"softening the object in front of it" in its mind, recite a spell, release the magic power in the body, and soak it into the object to successfully soften it.

Elrohir was sure that there was absolutely nothing wrong with her firm will, the pronunciation of the spell, or the swing of her wrist. All of these had been systematically and carefully corrected before getting the wand.

Elrohir was certain that the process of casting the spell just now was exactly the same as what was recorded on the Basic Spell Basics.

So what exactly is the problem?

Elrohir fell into deep thought.

The same doubt also appeared in Ms. Wolfe's mind.

The spell that Elrohir just released can be recognized by almost every American wizard. After all, this is the first spell that many wizards come into contact with in Ilvermorny. Ms. Wolfe even recognized Elrohir at a glance. Hill cast a "softening spell."

It is a very basic spell that can be mastered after a short period of training.

Even students who have not yet gone to school can master it directly after reading this mantra in a book at home and practicing it two or three times.

Ms. Wolfe had never seen a wizard fail to cast a softening spell since she had finished her first-year Charms course in Ilvermorny.

No, it cannot be said to be a "failure".

Ms. Wolfe recalled the spell Elrohir had just cast.

Is he hiding his clumsiness on purpose, or is this overly handsome man a poor squib?

As a wand maker, Ms. Wolfe could see that there was magic in Elrohir's body. This was a vision that every wand maker must possess.A truly skilled wandmaker will also recommend a more suitable wand based on the nuances of a customer's magic power.

But when Elrohir just cast the spell, Ms. Wolfe didn't see any magic flow.

If Elrohir wasn't deliberately pretending to recite a spell, then there was only one possibility left.

Although the body contains magic power, it cannot be used.

He is a somewhat special squib, and the world refuses to let him cast spells.
