Chapter 199: The Way of Wand-Making

"I have also been researching some magical rune circuits lately. Which magical rune circuits are used inside that wand?" Allen Finis quickly took the opportunity to ask the question he most wanted to ask.

Mr. Ollivander wore an expression of surprise.

"I recall you should be in your third year this year. I recall Hogwarts only offers the elective course on Ancient Runes in the third year. This course is not very popular."

"Only those who have mastered a certain amount of knowledge about Ancient Runes understand what a magical rune circuit is; many seventh-year graduates do not necessarily know what a magical rune circuit is." Mr. Ollivander scrutinized Allen Finis.

"I have been very fond of Ancient Runes since my first year, and I have been studying Ancient Rune knowledge non-stop for these two years. Not long ago, I came into contact with knowledge related to magical rune circuits, and now I have mastered several magical rune circuits." Allen Finis quickly took out his Ancient Rune notebook and handed it to Mr. Ollivander.

Mr. Ollivander reached out and took Allen Finis's notebook, looking at the neat handwriting on it with great surprise. "Merlin's beard! It is truly astonishing that you have already mastered so much Ancient Rune knowledge."

"You flatter me!" Allen Finis nodded modestly.

"Since you have mastered so much Ancient Rune knowledge, I will tell you about the wand's magical rune circuits." A spark of excitement flickered in Mr. Ollivander's eyes; he finally had someone with whom he could exchange professional knowledge.

"There are four types of Ancient Rune circuits inside the wand's inner wall, which are divided by function into positioning, synchronization, amplification, and transposition."

"The positioning magical rune circuit is to determine the direction and target of the spell cast."

"Synchronization is the magical rune circuit designed to coordinate the conflict between the wand and the wizard. This magical rune circuit is very important, but its effect is limited; the higher the conflict between the wand and the wizard, the lower the compatibility between the two."

"The amplification magical rune circuit is the most basic one. With it, the success rate of wizards casting spells can be greatly improved."

"The transposition magical rune circuit is to transpose the wand's movements. The results of making the same spell-casting movement with wands of different materials should be consistent!" Mr. Ollivander explained patiently.

Allen Finis even suspected he was experiencing auditory hallucinations. Mr. Ollivander really did not treat him as an outsider, revealing such precious knowledge so easily. For a moment, he did not know how to respond to Mr. Ollivander.

Mr. Ollivander seemed to see Xin De Xiang Fa in Allen Finis's heart. His gray eyes shimmered with a soft light. "This knowledge is not something secret. There are introductions to these magical rune circuits in the magic books within the Hogwarts library, but few people are willing to learn them."

"Is that so?" Allen Finis said in surprise. "Then wouldn't mastering this knowledge make it easy to create a wand?"

"No! The knowledge of these magical rune circuits is only the most basic. Mastering this knowledge can indeed create a wand, but it cannot create a good wand." Mr. Ollivander said solemnly.

This statement was again beyond Allen Finis's expectations. "What is a good wand? What is the evaluation standard?"

"The evaluation standard is whether it can fully unleash the potential of the wand-making materials. The more potential unleashed, the better the wand."

"Many wizards can find an old wand and then copycat to make their own wand, but this is far from enough. A made wand that can unleash 50% of the potential of the wand-making materials is already good."

"In the wand-making industry, the core thing is never what is carved on the wand's inner wall; what is carved on all wands is about the same."

"It is how the magical rune circuits inside wands of different materials and different cores should be carved! The grain of every wand's shaft is different. Every core looks the same, but the mana nodes within have subtle differences. To unleash all the potential, one must adjust the carved magical rune circuits."

Once the topic turned to wand-making, Mr. Ollivander's words increased.

"Then how much potential of the magical materials can the wands you manufacture unleash?" Allen Finis asked tactfully.

"Every Ollivander wand can unleash more than 95% of the potential of the magical materials within the wand." Mr. Ollivander said proudly.

"Actually, the magical materials Ollivander uses for wand cores are not the common ones on the market that cost 10 Jin Jin Jialong each. They are selected from ordinary magical materials, the best among the best, and generally sell for 20 Jin Jin Jialong each, so every Ollivander wand is extremely excellent." Mr. Ollivander's voice became even more excited.

"What's wrong? Suddenly interested in wand-making?" Mr. Ollivander suddenly asked.

"Yes, having worked in the wand shop for so long, one naturally becomes interested in wand manufacturing." Allen Finis said openly.

"Actually, practicing wand-making is a very expensive thing. Every time the magical rune circuits on the wand are activated, they cause a certain amount of damage to the core inside. Therefore, the magical rune circuits inside the wand are best carved in place at once to avoid repeatedly adjusting and damaging the core. Do you still want to learn wand-making?" Mr. Ollivander said.

Allen Finis fell silent. The cost of money was one aspect; on the other hand, he did not know where he could use wand-making after learning it.

He did not consider himself a once-in-a-millennium wand-making genius. The wands he made would definitely not sell for any profit, because wands are not fast-moving consumer goods; one can be used for many years, so the wand market is only that big.

He did not believe he could make wands better than Ollivander's. If the wands he made were not that good, why would wizards come to buy his wands?

Mr. Ollivander quietly got up, took a book out of his room, and handed it to Allen Finis. "There is still much to learn about wand-making. Read this book first until you understand it clearly and lay a good foundation."

Allen Finis took it and looked, finding the book was titled "Detailed Explanation of Magical Rune Circuits in Wand Making." He flipped through a few pages and couldn't help but immerse himself. When he came to his senses, he found Mr. Ollivander had gone back into the room to make wands.

He quickly tidied up the dining table but saw the folded newspaper placed by the side of the table.

He opened that newspaper, and the first thing he saw was a black-and-white photo of a skinny, skin-and-bones person roaring constantly, making a ferocious face, but his eyes held not a spark of spirit...

He leaned in to read: Black is still at large! The Ministry of Magic confirmed today: Sirius Black, considered the most notorious prisoner to have stayed in Azkaban Castle, is still not captured.
