Chapter 112: The Attempt of the Steel-Clawed Wolf

Allen Finis, in a state of ecstasy, decided to proceed to the next step according to his own thought—turning the wolf's claws into steel.

But this matter got stuck at the very first step; he discovered he had no way to use ancient runes to describe the material "steel."

Regarding this problem, Allen Finis was well prepared; he rummaged through his memories and found a memory of using a thunderbird's eye to observe him casting a spell to transform a knife.

He extracted and copied this memory, then poured it into the diary, and then had Yodell pull him into the Thought Chamber.

In the pristine white Thought Chamber, Allen Finis simultaneously unfolded the memory of transforming a wolf and the memory of transforming a knife.

The ancient runes in the memory of transforming a knife were few in number, only a few hundred; Allen Finis struggled to identify these ancient runes, guessing and guessing, and although he did not recognize many of the ancient runes, he surprisingly understood the meaning of these ancient rune parameters roughly.

Most of these few hundred parameters were depicting the shape of the knife and the knife handle; the parameters describing the material of the blade were very few, only twenty-something; they formed a separate set of key-value pairs, and the key corresponding to this set of key-value pairs was one Allen Finis happened to recognize, meaning "material."

Allen Finis put the memory of transforming a knife aside for the moment and once again examined the memory of transforming a wolf.

This was an original memory that had not been color-altered; Allen Finis quickly found the key "claws" within it, and then found the key "material" under the dictionary corresponding to "claws."

A movement stirred in Allen Finis's heart; in the memory of transforming a knife, all ancient rune parameters except those describing the blade's material had vanished, while the ancient rune parameters describing the blade's material flew into the memory of transforming a wolf, replacing the dictionary corresponding to "material" under "claws."

A familiar feeling rose again in Allen Finis's heart; this was extremely like the ctrl+C and ctrl+V of his past life.

After finishing all this, he exited the diary, extracted the modified memory from within the diary, returned it to his brain, and then cast a spell on the table again.

But this time the table turned into a twisted shape, and the shape of a wolf could still be vaguely seen.

Allen Finis knew that his spell-casting this time had failed.

Allen Finis was not surprised by this result.

He then repeated the above steps, wanting to turn the wolf's claws into other materials, but all failed.

Facing a series of failures, Allen Finis fell into deep thought again.

Why was changing the color successful so easily, but changing the material kept failing?

After some thought, Allen Finis understood some things...

"White" and "steel" are mostly simple words in human language, but Allen Finis's understanding of the two was not quite the same.

"White" is a very pure and easily understood word; everyone has a deep cognition of "white."

But although the word "steel" is very simple, it is actually very complex; although the main element in steel is the iron element, it also includes many trace elements, and Allen Finis's cognition of steel is very simple, such as: a heavy, hard, tough, silver-glistening, wear-resistant metal.

And when Allen Finis transformed a knife, his cognition of the knife's material would be translated into corresponding ancient rune parameters one by one.

The reason Allen Finis could transform a knife is that a knife is something that already exists in this world; the image of the knife's shape in his mind was sufficient for the Will of the World to retrieve from the database that the result he wanted to transform was a knife, and the ancient rune parameters translated from his simple cognition of the material "steel" would be treated as auxiliary retrieval parameters.

But using the ancient rune parameters translated from Allen Finis's simple cognition of the material "steel" as the parameters for the wolf's claw material would not work; the Will of the World would treat the ancient rune parameters for the claw material as error parameters, because the Will of the World's database simply has no steel-clawed wolf, and the Will of the World could not possibly match the material "steel" based on the parameters translated from his simple cognition of the material "steel."

That is why his transformation just now failed.

Allen Finis felt his research had once again hit a deadlock; he vaguely felt that if he had a deeper cognition of the material "steel," he could translate ancient rune parameters that could more accurately describe the material "steel" when casting a spell.

If his cognition of "steel" was an iron-carbon alloy with a carbon mass percentage between 0.02% and 2.11%, containing other elements, and he clearly knew the proportion of each element within it, then the Will of the World would know the material he described was "steel."

Thinking of this, Allen Finis felt even more of a headache, because these were all his guesses; perhaps even this level of description could not make the Will of the World believe he was describing steel, and then he would need to possess a deeper cognition of "steel"...

Moreover, Allen Finis did not think steel was the best material for a DIY transformation result, because steel is too heavy; the reason it is applied so widely is because steel is cheap and easy to produce, and Allen Finis does not really need these advantages, but the disadvantages are deadly.

Because what Allen Finis wants to DIY is a transformation beast with powerful combat abilities, he might consider adding external armor to the transformation beast; if steel is used for the armor, it will definitely greatly reduce the mobility of the transformation beast.

So the material Allen Finis most hopes to use is aluminum alloy and titanium alloy, which have very high strength but very light mass.

But how to accurately describe these two alloys?

Do I have to go to the Muggle World to study a metallurgy major just to increase my cognition of these alloys?

Allen Finis felt he had walked into a dead end; he did not expect to get stuck at the very first step of DIY.

At this moment, Ollivander knocked on his room door, asking Allen Finis to help go out and buy some things.

Allen Finis quickly agreed; when he opened the shop door, he found the door lock was broken again; he had to draw his wand and use the Unlocking Spell on the broken door lock; at this moment, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind...

When his Unlocking Spell faced a lock that could not be opened violently by magical power, the Will of the World would directly return a key model to him; and with this key model, he could use the Transfiguration Spell to precisely transform the key of that lock.

And most keys are metal; when he uses the Transfiguration Spell to transform a key, will the ancient rune parameters he sends include parameters for the key's material?

Allen Finis felt it definitely would include them.

Moreover, the parameters describing the key's material are translated from the key model returned by the Will of the World; after the Will of the World receives them, it can definitely identify what metal these parameters are.

Allen Finis was stunned by his own clever conception.

He suddenly felt this plan was very feasible; if he could obtain many ancient rune parameters for key materials, he could always select a relatively suitable metal to DIY his combat transformation beast.

And the premise of all this is to obtain the key model returned by the Will of the World; and to obtain the key model returned by the Will of the World, one must cast the Unlocking Spell on many magically protected magical locks...

Allen Finis stood on the street of Diagon Alley looking at the shops filling the street; a bold idea suddenly arose in his heart...
