Hogwarts Reading Days

Chapter 102 Alchemy

Albert was sitting in a corner of the library, dragging his chin with one hand, and casually flipping through the catalog orders in the Fengya wizard clothing store with the other, planning to choose a suitable Christmas gift.

Originally, he planned to make an amulet for Nia himself, but after reading several books on alchemy, he temporarily dismissed this idea.

Albert found that his original idea was very unrealistic. Although wizards can cast spells on items and give them some magical properties, the magic on items usually cannot last for too long and will disappear with the passage of time.

In Albert's opinion, it is more meaningful to buy Nia a scarf than to make an amulet that will expire soon as a birthday present.

Creating a powerful and long-lasting magic item is by no means an easy task.

First of all, you need to use some items that carry magic power as raw materials, and during the entire manufacturing process, you also need to cast spells on those raw materials for manufacturing.After the work is completed, there is still a process of casting a spell on the finished product. Whether the caster is strong enough and skillful in using magic will determine whether the magic item is strong enough and durable.

In ancient times, wizards would carve some runes on magical items to further enhance the effect of magic.However, there are very few wizards who can do this today, and the legacy of ancient skills is mostly lost.

Using this complex and tedious process, the result is usually a powerful and long-lasting magic item.

Of course, there are places called alchemy items.

To be honest, the British wizarding community doesn't pay much attention to alchemy.

The concept of alchemy originally originated from the area of ​​ancient Greece and ancient Egypt, and was introduced to Western Europe in the 12th century.

The early wizards had a very vague concept of alchemy, and didn't even know what it was.

Albert read the famous jade record in ancient Egypt in the library, but he didn't understand the meaning of it. The first sentence of the book was translated to mean:

As it is above, as it is below; in this way, the miracle of the One is fulfilled.

The second sentence is: All things are originally the One, and were created from the One by differentiation...

After reading it forcibly and memorizing it, Albert closed the jade record and stuffed it back on the bookshelf.Old books are often full of complex and esoteric concepts that make it hard to understand.

Albert's only understanding after reading the two sentences of Cuiyulu is, is he talking about the universe or something?He really didn't think about the meaning of that book, maybe, one day he learned alchemy, maybe he suddenly realized it?

Anyway, early alchemy involved many fields.

What about exploring the mysteries of magic, the form of matter, and early cosmology, anyway, it's just a bunch of things integrated into alchemical theory.

Later alchemy became obsessed with metal smelting, which is why some metalsmiths were crowned so-and-so alchemists in later generations, although they might prefer to call themselves metal craftsmen.

After centuries of development, alchemy has established the concept of material transformation after the research of great alchemists such as Albert, Thomas von Aquinas, Roger Bacon, Arnold von Villanova,

Raymond Sluller even put forward the hypothesis of the Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone, based on the theory of "understanding, decomposing, and reconstructing".

This assumption was made by Nico Mellor,

Through the Philosopher's Stone, that is, the Philosopher's Stone, the early idea of ​​completing transformation by adding "seeds" to "transformation" was realized, and the elixir of life was successfully produced, and any metal could be turned into pure gold.

Nicomel, who made the Sorcerer's Stone, is therefore regarded as the ancestor of European alchemy, standing at the peak of alchemy and overlooking all alchemists.

However, through the continuation of the ages, the concept of material transformation eventually favored potions.

Although metal craftsmen are also crowned with the title of alchemist, however, this group of people obviously do not have that kind of self-awareness, and the branch of alchemy also falls on the mysticism.

After all, making magic items is what metalsmiths often do. They are good at using magic to process metals and create some magic items with hidden magical powers.

Goblins are the best among them. They are good at sterling silver products made by using goblin magic. Those things are similar to Mithril in the magic world in this world.

However, after a few days, the goblin forging sterling silver technology has also been lost, and only a small number of goblin craftsmen can forge goblin iron.

After the profession of metal craftsmen gradually disappeared, alchemy completely moved closer to the mysticism. However, most alchemists did not recognize that those items that were simply cast could be called alchemical items.

However, there are also some guys who call it modern alchemy, and the simple alchemy book that Albert once read is one of them.

After learning more about alchemy, Albert has a new copy of making amulets.He needs to find a bunch of magic materials that contain protective meaning, and put them together to make amulets. The amulets produced in this way will greatly strengthen the protective magic that Albert finally releases on the amulets.

For example, the guardian tree or the yew tree with magical power, the garnet known as the stone of life and the body stone... use the Aiwaz rune eihl which symbolizes protection and defense in the runes
