Chapter 102: alchemy
Albert was sitting in the corner of the library, dragging his chin with one hand, and casually flipping through the catalog orders in the Fengya brand wizard clothing store, planning to choose a suitable Christmas gift.
Originally, he planned to make an amulet for Niya himself, but after reading several books on alchemy, he temporarily dispelled this idea.
Albert found his original idea was very unrealistic. Although wizards can cast spells on items and give them some magical properties, the magic on items usually cannot last too long and will disappear over time.
In Albert's view, it is not as meaningful to make a amulet that will soon expire as a birthday gift than to buy a scarf for Nia.
It is never easy to create a powerful and long-lasting magic item.
First of all, it is necessary to use some items that carry magic power as raw materials, and during the entire manufacturing process, it is also necessary to cast spells on those raw materials for manufacturing. After the work is completed, there will be a process of casting a spell on the finished product. Whether the caster is strong enough and the skill of using magic will determine whether the magic item is strong enough and lasting.
In ancient times, wizards would carve some runes on magic items to further enhance the effect of magic. However, there are very few wizards who can do this today, and most of the ancient skills left over are lost.
Using this complex and cumbersome process, what is usually created is a powerful and long-lasting magic item.
Of course, some places are called alchemy items.
To be honest, the magical world in England doesn't pay much attention to alchemy.
The concept of alchemy was originally derived from the areas of ancient Greece and Egypt, and was introduced to Western Europe in the 12th century.
The early wizards had very vague concepts about alchemy, and didn't even know what it was.
Albert had read the famous "Cui Yu Lu" of ancient Egypt in the library, but he did not understand the meaning of the above. The first sentence of the book was translated as:
As it is above, as it is below; in this way, the miracle of the One is fulfilled.
The second sentence is: Everything is the One, created from the One by differentiation...
After reading it forcibly and remembering it, Albert put "Jade Jade Record" together and tucked it back on the shelf. Old books are usually full of complex and profound concepts that are difficult to understand.
Albert's only understanding after reading the two sentences of "The Jade Record" is, is he talking about the universe or something? He really wasn't thinking about the meaning of that book. Maybe, one day when he learns alchemy, he might suddenly realize it?
Anyway, the early alchemy involved multiple fields.
What explores the mystery of magic, the form of matter, and early cosmology, anyway, a bunch of things are integrated into alchemy theory.
Later, alchemy became obsessed with metal making, which is why some metalsmiths were named so-and-so alchemists in later generations, although they might prefer to call themselves metal craftsmen.
After centuries of development, alchemy established the material transformation after the research of Albert, Thomas von Aquinas, Roger Bacon, Arnold von Willanova, and other great alchemists. Philosophy,
Raymonds Luler even put forward the hypothesis of the sage stone, that is, the philosopher stone, based on the theory of "understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction".
This hypothesis was completed by Nico Mailer,
Through the philosopher's stone, that is, the magic stone, the early concept of transforming by adding "seeds" to "transformation" was realized, and the elixir of life was successfully created, and any metal could be turned into pure gold.
Nico Mailer, who created the Sorcerer's Stone, is therefore regarded as the ancestor of European alchemy, standing on the summit of alchemy and looking down on all alchemists.
However, after the continuation of the past generations, the concept of material transformation eventually turned towards potions.
Although the metal craftsman is also crowned the title of alchemist, this group of people obviously does not have that kind of consciousness, and the branch of alchemy falls on the mystic.
Making magical items is something that metal craftsmen often do. They are good at using magic to process metal and create some magical props with hidden magical powers.
Fairies are the best among them. They are good at performing pure silver products made by fairies magic, which in this world is similar to the mithril in the magic world.
However, after a few days, the fairy forging sterling silver technology was also lost, and only a few fairy craftsmen could forge fairy iron.
After the profession of metal craftsman gradually disappeared, alchemy completely moved closer to the occult. However, most alchemists did not admit that items that were simply casted could be called alchemy items.
However, some guys call it Alchemy now, and the book "Simple Alchemy" that Albert once read is one of them.
After in-depth understanding of alchemy, Albert has a new copy of the making amulet. He needs to find a bunch of magical materials with protective meaning, and put them together to make amulets. The amulet produced in this way will greatly strengthen the protective magic that Albert finally releases on the amulet.
For example, the magic tree or yew tree, the garnet known as the stone of life and the body stone...Use EIHWAZ, which symbolizes protection and defense in the rune, and other runes The combination of runes can strengthen the protective power of the amulet.
Unfortunately, although the idea is not good, the reality is cruel. Albert needs more knowledge to help him complete this structure, and he himself has little understanding of runes, that is, ancient magic texts.
Regarding the records of ancient magic texts, they are more about interpretation and understanding, rather than involving deeper things. Perhaps Dumbledore has studied these things, but now there are very few wizards who really know how to use them. not enough.
Albert threw the idea of making amulets as gifts behind his head. In fact, he already had a more suitable choice, and he was about to fix it.
A lion head beast symbolizing Gryffindor.
This is Albert's inspiration when he practiced basic sports magic, using wood, gears and magic to create a moving lion-body eagle head.
The reason why he set out to do it was the model of the fire dragon on the goblet of fire, a model of scale waving.
That's right, after clicking on a few levels of economics-related skills, Albert began to think of various sorrow operations~www.NovelMTL.com~ For example, selling models of various magical creatures in the future might make a lot of money. What an idea.
After all, he can find someone to cooperate and set up a company or something, and he can invest and provide related technology himself.
In order to carve the lion eagle head, Albert deliberately went to the spiral staircase of the principal's office on the third floor to observe a lion eagle head statue for a long time and took several photos from all angles.
He also upgraded his carving skills to one level by the way, using the wood of the tree provided by Hagrid to piece together a lion-body eagle-headed beast. The basic movement magic can even make it stir its wings. As for whether it can fly, of course it is currently impossible.
As for the future, Albert believes that he can do it and perfect it completely. After all, he has a panel, how could he not be confident!
As for who to work with, Albert even has a candidate, such as a hapless person who was overwhelmed.
