#90 - Alchemical Materials

After a while, Charles was feeling a little dizzy and lightheaded, and could only ask again, "Is it done yet? It feels like it's been a while."

"Thirty seconds left. I've been watching the time. Don't give up at the crucial moment." It had been thirteen minutes, and Charles looked like he was at his limit.

Charles persevered for almost another minute, but couldn't hold on any longer, and was swaying unsteadily.

At this moment, Anduin was still encouraging him, "Last ten seconds, keep going!"

Hearing this, Charles squeezed out the last bit of magic in his body and persevered, counting down ten seconds in his mind. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, his body went limp, and he was about to fall to the ground, the basin of water on his head about to fall off, and Charles was about to become a drowned rat.

At this moment, Anduin gently waved his hand, and the basin of water on his head was steadily controlled. Charles, who was about to fall, was also supported by Anduin.

"Okay, sit down for a while and have some water." Anduin helped Charles to sit on the chair next to him and handed him a full glass of water.

Charles felt limp all over. Since entering school, he had never experienced the feeling of running out of magic. Now, he didn't even have the strength to hold his wand. He gulped down a whole glass of water, heaved a sigh of relief, and felt like he was alive again, but his body still had no strength.

"Okay, now is also very critical. Experience the state of your body at this time. I'll get you something to eat. After your magic is exhausted, replenish your strength, and your body will replenish your strength and magic, and gradually increase your magic reserves," Anduin instructed.

Charles nodded, experiencing the state of his body, which was like a balloon being drained of air, his whole body was soft and uncomfortable, but now he could gradually feel that his body was gradually secreting something for him, which should be magic.

A water pipe filled with water, you will feel that it is a whole, and you can't distinguish the difference between water and the pipe, and an empty water pipe, gradually filling it with water, you can clearly feel the existence of water flow.

Charles is now in this feeling, he can gradually perceive the existence of magic, which can also constantly exercise his magic perception, that is, magic sensitivity.

If Anduin can controllably improve Charles's magic sensitivity, then the topic related to magic sensitivity in the Charms Club will gain the first precious experimental data.

Maybe that topic, in the beginning, Professor Flitwick hinted that he should conduct research and experiments in this area.

Professor Flitwick must be looking forward to him finding a way to improve magic sensitivity. Maybe this training for Charles can also break through this topic by the way.

Anduin brought out a blueberry pie that he had made earlier from Hagrid's kitchen, handed it to Charles, and asked, "How is it? Do you feel anything different?"

Charles took the pie and ate it in big mouthfuls. He was exhausted just now. While chewing the blueberry pie in his mouth, he said, "It seems to be really useful. I can feel the magic slowly secreting in my body."

"Secretion? That's a good word. Remember that feeling, you'll feel it often in the future," Anduin teased with a smile.

Charles swallowed, the feeling of exhausting all the magic in his body was too uncomfortable, and couldn't help asking, "Do you also do this kind of exercise?"

"I started this kind of training when I was 7 years old, and I still insist on it before going to bed. To be honest, the effect will be better at the beginning. After getting used to it, I can basically know where my limit is," Anduin said.

"What, started at the age of seven? My God, how did you persevere through this painful experience?" Charles looked at Anduin in stunned silence.

Anduin said indifferently, "If you want to get something, you have to pay something, right?"

Then Anduin let Charles rest in the cabin for a while and had dinner with Hagrid.

Hagrid also liked Charles, a Gryffindor student, very much, while Charles praised Anduin's cooking skills.

After dinner, Anduin accompanied Charles back to the castle, and Anduin had to go to Professor Bones to learn spells.

"Today I'll introduce you to some alchemy materials, come and take a look." Professor Bones spread various materials on the large table in the middle of the office, roughly divided into wood, metal, and leather.

Anduin looked at the dazzling array of materials on the table, touching them one by one, feeling the texture of different materials. Suddenly, he found a material that looked and felt very familiar, very similar to the amulet that Lily gave him.

Bones smiled when he saw Anduin repeatedly examining a piece of copper material and said, "Since you're so curious about this, let's start with metal materials first."

"The material in your hand is called 'Paracelsus Bronze', invented by the legendary alchemist Paracelsus, a very popular alchemical metal. Generally, beginners use this material to practice. It has stable properties, decent energy storage, and the cost is not too high," Bones introduced to Anduin.

So this is a material for beginners to practice. Lily really didn't lie to him when she said it was a casual thing when she gave him the amulet.

"Invented?" Then Anduin realized something.

"That's right, there are only so many known metals in the wizarding world and the Muggle world today, and there are no natural magic metals. These metal magic materials are actually alloys. They are often made by wizards using metals as raw materials, fusing other metals, inputting magic power or adding some magical creature components during the manufacturing process to form alloys with magical properties.

According to the different alloy formulas, there will be different characteristics, so many ordinary metals are not very valuable in themselves, but alloy formulas are very precious. Paracelsus Bronze is an alchemical material with a public formula, so the value is not very high," Bones explained to Anduin.

That's right, if there were any special magic metals in this world, then the Muggle world would definitely be the first to discover them.

Bones then picked up a silver candlestick and showed it to Anduin, "This is 'Ithildin', also known as fairy mithril. The alloy formula is firmly controlled by the goblins. Many goblin silverwares are made of fairy mithril. It has very good magic conduction properties and extremely strong stability.

However, the disadvantage is that the texture is soft. Alchemists generally choose to make it into a magical ornament, or add some Ithildin to other alchemical metals to increase magic conductivity.
