#310 - Beautiful wand

But regardless of their individual preferences, Anduin's products left a deep impression on them.

During the subsequent price negotiation, neither Minister Bardnor nor Director Amelia chose to haggle, directly agreeing to his initial offer. Perhaps Anduin's previous discounts had greatly endeared him to them, or perhaps they simply had no intention of purchasing such expensive products.

However, this delighted Anduin. Once the price was set by the Ministry of Magic, it meant that Ministry employees would be able to purchase products from his shop at the same price. After all, you couldn't stop Aurors from wanting to add some extra security for themselves.

After completing the demonstration of this series of products, Anduin unveiled the human-shaped target, a powerful tool, and for the first time outside of Hogwarts, promoted his definition of power value.

You see, the concept of a 'standard' is inconsequential if it doesn't already exist. But once the decision to use a standard is made, the person who sets the standard will be the biggest beneficiary.

Therefore, in addition to promoting his products, he came to the Ministry of Magic to promote his 'standard' and his philosophy to these high-level figures in the wizarding world.

"Power value?" Minister Bardnor and Amelia looked at Anduin with some confusion after hearing his explanation.

"That's right. It's the standard unit I use to measure the strength of spells. It contains very complex calculation formulas, not only targeting impact force, but also measuring the duration and hidden damage of spells."

"Of course, if I explain it in such complicated terms, you may not understand. Just imagine that the higher the number displayed, the greater the power of the spell. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourselves. Don't worry, the human-shaped target I made is very durable. You can cast any spell you like."

Anduin explained with a smile. The most valuable part of the human-shaped target is the rune structure it contains. Although this equipment cannot yet be mass-produced using magical lathes, and he has to make each one himself, the material cost is similar to that of a tactical vest.

Therefore, Anduin makes a huge profit on every human-shaped target he sells, so he is very enthusiastic in promoting them.

"So, directly casting a spell on it can detect the caster's mastery of the corresponding spell?" Minister Bardnor seemed to understand a little.

"That's right. For example, the 'Stupefy' spell normally has a power of about 40 points when used by an adult wizard." After saying that, Anduin raised his wand and casually waved it at the human-shaped target not far away.

"Bang!"

A spell hit the target, making a crisp sound. The human-shaped target also shook slightly, and then displayed the number 40 on its chest.

"Of course, Aurors or Hit Wizards who have undergone combat and training will have a stronger control over the Stunning Spell, and the numbers they produce will be higher." Anduin waved his wand again, throwing out a spell that scored 60 points.

"I see." Minister Bardnor nodded thoughtfully, but she was still a little unsure in her heart. How could every spell you cast produce an integer? Is it really that precise?

"Aselia, come and try it yourself." Minister Bardnor looked around, preparing to find a non-combat staff member to try it out, and casually pointed to Aselia.

"Me? Oh!" Aselia pointed to her face with a slightly dazed expression, and after a while, she realized what was happening, and then obeyed the order to stand in front of the human-shaped target and drew her wand.

Aselia's wand matched her appearance, a wand as white as ivory.

A wand made of Aspen?

Anduin raised his eyebrows slightly. He hadn't realized that this beauty was actually a spellcasting expert?

At this time, Aselia took a deep breath, aimed at the human-shaped target, and threw out a spell with all her might, also a Stunning Spell. After the spell hit the human-shaped target, it displayed a value of 42 points.

Seeing this, Anduin frowned in confusion. Wasn't it said that Aspen wand holders were very good at dueling magic? Is that all? Or is this beauty hiding her strength?

He glanced at her with a slightly playful look, and then returned to his normal expression.

Aselia, seeing the number displayed on the target, pursed her lips awkwardly, then turned her head to look at Minister Bardnor, as if asking if she should try again?

"Try again, use Incendio and Glacius." Minister Bardnor still didn't quite understand this new concept, but if what Anduin said was true, then this human-shaped target would be of great use to the Ministry of Magic.

"Yes, Minister."

Aselia responded, then stared at the target in front of her and cast a 'Incendio' spell.

61! The human-shaped target displayed a number far higher than before.

Seeing this, Anduin sneered in his heart. This beautiful big sister really had a problem. She must have deliberately controlled her magic when casting that Stunning Spell earlier.

However, if you thought that using the same magic power to cast a spell like Incendio would still produce a similar value, you would be daydreaming. You must know that casting elemental spells is different from controlling spells. It depends more on elemental affinity.

Wizards with poor affinity for elemental runes will have a very low magic power conversion rate when casting spells. Using the same magic power, the power will be much lower than controlling spells. But if they have a high affinity for elemental runes, using the same magic power, the power will be much higher.

After seeing the value on the human-shaped target, Aselia was obviously stunned for a while, and the people around her looked at her with some surprise.

"Why did this value suddenly become so high after using the Incendio spell?" Minister Bardnor looked at Anduin with some confusion.

Anduin glanced at Aselia, and decided not to expose this beautiful witch for now. He just wanted to see why she was hiding her strength.

Anduin chuckled at Minister Bardnor, "I said, the power value calculated by the human-shaped target is not a simple impact force. Under the same conditions, the damage caused by Incendio to a person is definitely higher than that of Stupefy, and Aselia should also have a good elemental rune affinity, so the value will be different."

"I see." Minister Bardnor thought about it and felt that it made sense, then looked at Aselia again, "You can step back first, I'll let someone else try."

Afterwards, Minister Bardnor turned to look at Moody.

Moody chuckled, his expression extremely ferocious. He had been very curious about this human-shaped target for a long time, and had wanted to try it himself. He didn't even know Anduin had such a good thing back then.
