Chapter 317
Gestures and pronunciation of spells; materials, stirring, and heat of potions; materials, ancient runes, and engraving techniques of alchemy...
Form a complete ritual】
There was a thunderclap in the distance, and the heavy rain poured down.
If there is anyone who knows enough about potion rituals, and anyone who has walked far enough in the spiritual will field of potions, and is enough to bring its core to alchemy...
Then even Professor Sineipu would admit that there is currently only one person in the Wizarding World—
That is the wizard Green, who inherited the improved ritual, perfected the guidance method, and summarized the fusion enlightenment method.
Judging from the development of Polyjuice Potion, the rigor of potions is because they have existed for a long enough time, and the remaining methods under survival of the fittest are excellent enough.
But alchemy is quite different; the reason it is more widely applicable is its ambiguity and obscurity, and every wizard can draw the ritual power he wants from obscure symbols and vague phrases.
So, when Sean compared the ritual steps of Polyjuice Potion one by one to the Magical Creature Transfiguration cookies, he was sure that a new ritual had appeared.
He stepped on the shoulders of giants again.
When Sean left, the flames of the fireplace were more enthusiastic than ever.
The rain played, and the wind whistled.
The silver knife ground out sparks in the dim light of the Hope Cabin.
Time gradually passed the curfew, and Hogwarts Castle had entered the last time before falling asleep, but something seemed to be waking up in the sleep.
Improved ritual shapes soul fit;
Will guidance method strengthens belief;
Fusion enlightenment method leads sublimation...
Finally—
Sean failed.
He stared at this strange cat-shaped cookie for a long time, but a bright smile outlined on the corners of his mouth.
Of course he failed, but it wasn't his ritual that failed, the flaw was just his lack of understanding of Mrs. Norris.
Mrs. Norris, is it asleep?
Sean suddenly realized that the cabin was pitch black, and the curfew had passed for an hour.
He waved his hand, and the Nimbus 2000 floated over; before leaving, he was slightly stunned, where did the postcard on the table come from?
The Ravenclaw castle spire outlined the bright moonlight; Sean was alone, but didn't feel lonely.
There were too many greatnesses of the Wizarding World with him, and he felt an incomparable satisfaction. The slight misunderstanding about the obscurity of alchemy also disappeared without a trace.
Instead, he felt heartfelt admiration for the alchemist from Panopolis in 300 AD—Zosimos,
It was his appearance that made a large number of alchemy works different from early papyrus documents emerge in the world.
It was also in the works of the wizard Zosimos that alchemy methods became subtle and vague; for example, he began to use riddles and phrases with ambiguous meanings.
Wizard Zosimos. He was one of the first alchemists to hide his thoughts with mysterious descriptions and symbolic techniques, and also created this core tradition for later alchemy.
And this tradition brought unimaginable wealth to alchemists to transform the world.
In the Ravenclaw dormitory, that magic lantern was still on the window; the little wizard who was used to waiting for a while had fallen into a deep sleep.
He was holding a set of Weird Wizard's Chess in his arms, looking like he had waited for a long time.
Sean silently put a "Gendoka Knight" into his knight pile; the knight who was talkative and loved to brag lost his sound—he drank too much and fell asleep.
Well, this was designed by the Weasleys; little wizards can buy corresponding supporting props from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes & Green according to the personality of a very small number of chess pieces.
However, it will not destroy the game balance. First of all, the supporting props have both advantages and disadvantages. For example, the "Gendoka Knight," he will likely fall asleep, but there is a small probability of triggering the Jazz's "high-spirited mount state," randomly taking away two people with bad character (possibly his own side).
Secondly, Sean never felt that the Wizard's Chess where the Queen would directly stab the King had too many game balance arguments.
It's just that Sean's will is too strong, and the chess pieces are too outrageous, which instead gave the little wizards room to operate.
The scenery of Ravenclaw Tower is very good; Sean leaned on the soft cushion made of Transfiguration, directing a small part of the fireplace to come over and burn at his feet.
The heavy rain was blocked out.
Sean opened the postcard on the table and already knew who sent it.
On the postcard, there were beautiful coastlines, canyons, and castles. And a letter with a greeting card:
【Sean:
Distant St Andrews, the cold wind of the North Atlantic is sweeping across the grass of the Old Course at St Andrews, so the sound of the North Atlantic wind was pressed under the postcard;
Glencoe Canyon in the Highlands, the snow-capped mountains and the sky are outlining the silhouette of a giant beast crawling, so I sent some rocks from there;
Christmas Eve in Edinburgh, the fir trees at the Christmas market at the foot of Castle Hill are very charming, I really hope you can feel some through the branches;
I think you don't have time to go, so I have to bring some back for you.
After all, we are in the same boat.
—Yours faithfully: Justin】
Under the postcard was a small tape recorder, a small stone, and a sprig of fir.
In the winter night, the sound of the wind from the tape recorder mixed with the whistling wind from the top of Ravenclaw Tower.
