Chapter 728 The correct development path for wizards
One drawback of traditional wands is that they cannot fire continuously.
Although the double snake staff can cast two spells at the same time, it is just the icing on the cake for wizards who are proficient in silent spellcasting.
If a firearm is used as a template, what if every time the trigger is pulled, it is a spell casting process?
Vincent's alder wand quickly waved towards the mithril on the surface of the double snake staff.
Colorful magic circuits are drawn one after another, some are parallel and some are intertwined.
They seemed to react with the ancient runes on the surface of the snake wood, and began to change the appearance of the double snake staff at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The dazzling light did not slow down the carving speed of the alder wand, and Vincent even closed his eyes.
Magic circuits were his first lesson in alchemy, and he had already reached the point where he could depict them with his eyes closed.
When the last stroke fell, the diffused bright light was instantly compressed back.
Vincent opened his eyes and saw a long-barreled pistol with flowing lines.
With both magic circuits and ancient runes hidden inside, it reveals the metallic luster that originally belonged to mithril.
The main body of the grip is made of snake wood covered with scales. The intertwined snake body is also a spiral-shaped mithril gun body, with two snake heads, one on the left and one on the right, serving as the muzzle.
The snakewood trigger fits tightly in front of the grip and has no hammer or magazine structure.
Since it is a firearm that shoots magic, there is no need to keep it specially.
Vincent held the long-barreled pistol. It was actually slightly heavier than the gun blade, but the overall length was about the same.
Although there is no sharp blade under the gun body, this magic gun may not be incapable of close combat.
He didn't recite a spell, he just touched the snake wood trigger lightly, and the snake head muzzle on the left formed a translucent barrier.
The effect is almost the same as the silent spell cast by the alder wand. Since no additional casting gestures are required, the whole process is three times faster.
Aim and touch the trigger.
While other wizards were still waving their wands, the snake-wood staff in the form of a gun had already shot out magic spells.
If energy production...
Vincent sighed.
Silent spell casting is one threshold, and whether the Ministry of Magic allows circulation is another threshold.
Let’s continue testing.
There are two muzzles in total, and like the double snake staff, it can cast two magic spells at the same time.
Two beams of light, one red and one blue, hit the ground, the turf on the left was blown away, and a hole appeared on the right.
There was no rejection, and the power was the same as usual.
Vincent pointed the muzzle of the gun at the trunk of a giant tree, took a deep breath and pressed his fingertips on the snakewood trigger.
Two red beams of light had just made two holes, followed by two more red beams of light speed.
Debris-like bark was flying all over the sky, and the two holes in the tree were getting bigger and bigger.
It is comparable to the continuous fire speed of an automatic rifle. Even if the power of the spell is reduced as much as possible, the consumption is still so high that it starts to feel tired after 50 times.
Vincent let go of his fingertips and sat down to rest for half an hour.
When he recovered, he stood up and pointed the gun at another giant tree.
The dazzling red beams of light almost merged together, and two large holes connected to the tree were instantly blasted out.
But it didn't end there. The red beams passed through the big hole one after another, like a laser that continued to shine.
The next second, sweat dripped from Vincent's forehead and his breathing began to become rapid.
10 shots at full power, not yet at the limit.
The muzzle of the gun shook violently, and the giant tree fell straight down.
Feeling faint, he let go of his fingertips.
30 shots is already the limit, after all, the interval is not much different from continuous casting.
The long-barreled pistol has a strong effect in releasing magic spells, and there are not many situations where actual combat requires casting spells at almost zero intervals.
As long as you take it easy, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Resting until dawn, Vincent restored the damage and then activated the time-turner.
A 1 second interval is easier, a 2 second interval is about the same as using a traditional wand.
If you only use a single muzzle and shoot magic spells back and forth with an interval of 2 seconds between the left and right guns, it will take almost 5 minutes before you feel tired.
10 minutes passed, and the fainting feeling just now began.
Half an hour later, Vincent dropped his long-barreled pistol and knelt on the ground.
A total of 1000 spells can be cast, twice as many times as an alder wand.
As long as it is used properly, the combat effectiveness will be doubled.
Times have really changed.
If you had Dumbledore's powerful magic, it would be more than enough to defeat a fully armed Muggle army, and you could even escape unscathed.
Get rid of the awkward spells and cumbersome spell-casting gestures. This is the correct development path for wizards.
However, due to the existence of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, the magical world has been stagnant for three hundred years.
There are very few wizards who really value the speed of Muggle technology development. If an opportunity arises for them to face reality...
Vincent tightened his long-barreled pistol, and the snake wood absorbed the mithril on the surface, quickly returning to the form of a double snake staff.
"Fuck the Dark Lord!"
Probably, this is the so-called prophecy.
There was a pair of invisible hands behind his back, pushing him forward.
After scolding, I felt much better, but the scene around me...
Vincent's eyes twitched crazily.
Just now, I was only concerned with testing the limits and did not pay special attention to the damage caused.
Restoring the whole area of hundreds of meters is another big project.
The weekend is the weekend, what if you don’t take a good rest?
I slept until noon, yawned and walked into the bathroom, almost shocked.
Inside, there was a member of the reconnaissance team lying down with his back to him. He was using magic to lift up the floor tiles, looking carefully for something.
Vincent walked to the sink nonchalantly.
"Kakaka-"
"Shuashuashua——"
The only sounds in the huge space were the sound of lifting floor tiles and brushing teeth.
This one was too attentive. Vincent washed his face and walked out without looking back.
I went back to the dormitory and changed my clothes. When I came to the common room, I was shocked again.
There were only three Aurors inside.
One is using magic to lift the marble floor, one is raising his wand and tapping on the wall, and one is staggering on the chandelier to check the ceiling.
This is too exaggerated.
Vincent was stunned for a moment, and then his body began to tremble involuntarily.
Fudge was really not a human being, except for digging in the ground with a shovel.
Take a deep breath to calm down and everything will be fine.
Leaving the common room and walking quickly to the Room of Requirement, it turned out to be exactly what he had imagined.
There's no point in hitting the wall with your wand, you have to walk back and forth around the corner three times, and you have to be desperate to get somewhere as you go.
The Appearance Spell is useless. Even if the door does appear, it will not be visible due to the alchemical coating, unless the correct position of the door handle can be found.
Oh, don't touch it with your hands. I told you to walk back and forth three times first.
Vincent came in a hurry and left quietly.
"What's for lunch today..."
Compared to the Ministry of Magic's renewed search operation, he was obviously more concerned about having something delicious for lunch.
