Would it then produce only the Fireball Curse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if such a wand truly existed, no one would buy it, because no one used only the Fireball Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if there were ten, twenty, fifty different wands like this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Silven’s idea. He temporarily named this type of wand… Targeted Wand, meaning a wand fixed to cast only one specific spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he found his grandfather Garrick and ordered a batch of dragonwood under the man’s name, saving a fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven hugged the dragonwood and bounded upstairs, beaming. Garrick Ollivander watched his back, lips moving as if to speak, but saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to guess what Silven intended, yet couldn’t understand why he’d make such a “flawed wand.” To him, this act was outright heretical—an insult to wands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet whenever he tried to warn Silven against it, the wand with unicorn hair would trot merrily into his mind and casually dismiss his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there anything more heretical than using an entire unicorn as a wand core?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garrick Ollivander shook his head and finally watched Silven vanish at the top of the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He might not succeed,” Garrick thought, for the core’s traits were still theoretical—no evidence proved dragon heartstring wands were inherently suited to fire magic, only that the probability was higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, not all St. Mungo healers used unicorn tail hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding… A crisp sound interrupted his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A customer entered, followed by Professor Flitwick—clearly a new student coming to buy a wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a guess!” Garrick muttered, tearing his gaze from the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the days before term started, Silven spent most of his time wrestling with dragonwood. Fred and George occasionally visited Diagon Alley to ask him about wand-making techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not real wands—just a new prank item they’d invented: it looked exactly like a wand, but if anyone tried to cast a spell with it, it turned into a rubber toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make their creation convincing enough to fool even experienced wizards, they’d come to Silven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven sold them a bottle of pine oil for five Galleons; after a brief soak, the fake wands transformed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still imperfect, most wizards wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To express their gratitude, they invited Silven to the Burrow, but he declined—he was wholly focused on dragonwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The process proved far harder than he’d imagined, and several long-absent wand explosions occurred along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, dragonwood was more powerful than cherrywood; every few days, people in Diagon Alley could glimpse a thrilling “firework” display through the second-floor window of Ollivander’s Wand Shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When neighbors asked about the commotion, Garrick Ollivander would tell them, “Nothing to worry about—Silven’s protected by the Shield Charm, no injuries.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he’d even finished speaking, another thunderous crash echoed overhead. A few wisps of dust tumbled from cracks in the ceiling, landing on Garrick and Florean Fortescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Florean Fortescue stared in shock. Garrick, unfazed, simply waved his wand and cleared the dust away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, this was mild—he still remembered the first explosion half a month ago, when dust had rained down like a storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ceiling had long since been shaken clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven stared at the table with a gaping hole, exhaling shakily as he released his grip on the Troll Wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he hadn’t yet given this wand to Hagrid—and even more fortunately, he’d made Garrick cast the Shield Charm on it first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dull】: Records the first spell a wizard casts with it. Afterward, regardless of incantation or gesture, all magic becomes the originally recorded spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, whenever Silven held this wand, he could instantly shield himself, using the Shield Charm to negate explosion damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was exhausting for Garrick—he’d been dazed for days after using the Troll Wand once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn’t matter. Garrick was a masterful veteran wandmaker; he could adjust himself, just as he had when he first learned Silven had turned the Redcap’s Heart Nerve into a wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven picked up Silvermane and flicked it skillfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reparo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shattered table and window restored themselves instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven sighed faintly, staring at the irreparable wood shards—this was the last dragonwood wand body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the process had been dangerous, compared to the results, it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven opened the lizard-skin pouch beside him and pulled out five wands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragonwood, unicorn tail hair, eleven inches】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Status: Imbalanced】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trait: Spell effect -70%; Aqua Eructo +35%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven had tested them—these two traits were independent; Aqua Eructo was unaffected by the spell weakening, the only spell immune to the reduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragonwood, Redcap Heart Nerve, twelve and one-third inches】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trait: Spell effect -70%; Rupture +30%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【…Acromantula leg… Constrictor +40%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Silven nearly laughed out loud. What did 40% mean? Even if your Constrictor could barely bind a rabbit, with this wand, you’d instantly reach Auror standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Direct upgrade from P (Pass) to O (Outstanding).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an Auror used it, they might even rival Dumbledore… assuming Dumbledore didn’t use the Elder Wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silven still didn’t know what the legendary wand looked like or what its special ability was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, two more left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If seeing the Constrictor wand made him nearly laugh, these two made him laugh outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragonwood, unicorn tail hair, ten and a half inches】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Status: Imbalanced】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trait: Spell effect -70%; Patronus +25%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragonwood, dragon heartstring, thirteen inches】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Status: Imbalanced】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Trait: Spell effect -70%; Bombarda +25%】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A +25% boost wasn’t much—even the lowest among these five wands—but look at the names: Patronus and Bombarda. The feeling changed entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Patronus: a universally recognized advanced spell, the only defense against Dementors, one of the mandatory skills for Aurors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bombarda: one of the most powerful offensive spells a regular wizard could learn—and the one that thrilled Silven most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw it, all previous explosions suddenly felt worthwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, it wasn’t a one-time thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This suggested 【Overload】 likely came from Voldemort’s soul—or perhaps because dragonwood wasn’t ancient enough. Either way, Silven had never encountered it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was fine. If Silven learned Bombarda, this wand would serve him permanently, perfectly compensating for his current lack of offensive spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1279,"2026-06-20T04:03:11.805Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","78f30d493ccfacd90f0e1195c810b3e47c32d0fc7c24e7940f64d3d90a347bcd","hogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-chapter-90","hogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-chapter-88",149,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-don-t-call-me-a-wandmaker-cover.jpg"]
