Like a wand, a wand is a tool used to perform magic. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is found all over the world and has a long history in some ancient schools of magic.
Unlike wands and the growing popularity of wizards, these ancient schools of magic have so far been in decline, few or have disappeared as a thing of the past, so casters who wield wands are rare.
However, considering that Cairo was about to host an international alchemy conference, it was not a surprise that Evan could see the staff here.
After all, it's not a wand or a wand, it was originally made by alchemists.
That is, wandology is actually a branch of alchemy.
It was only with the rise of wizarding and the maturity of theory that wandology splintered into a new branch of magic.
The method of making staffs, which are used by a small number of people, is still in the ancient school of alchemy.
As a spellcasting tool, whether it is a wand or a staff, its main purpose is to reduce the caster's own casting pressure and increase the magic effect cast.
Without these tools, the caster has no way to use magic.
Spellcasting tools are an important aid, not just wands and staffs, but other similar tools around the world.
For example, sorcerers on the African continent can use totems or voodoo dolls to cast spells, ancient spellcasters in North America can use stones to cast spells, and those wizards who are proficient in demonic magic will build demon altars or engrave demon names on themselves to achieve their spell casting purposes.
In the East, spellcasters also use sigils, turtle shells, jade, or some special weapons such as swords, etc., which are still popular in Eastern magic schools.
There are many types and quantities of spellcasting tools, each with its own merits, and it is not to say that anyone is better than the other.
But as of now, wands have become recognized as the most popular spell-casting tool in the world.
In many countries and regions, spellcasters have abandoned their original methods of casting spells and magic in favor of wands.
This has to do with historical factors, the rise and expansion of European countries, and the number of wizards, but there are obvious benefits to using a wand.
For example, the crafting process is relatively simple, the cost is low, and it can assist wizards to cast spells quickly, etc.
But in other ways, wands may not be as good as other spellcasting tools!
Wands, for example, may not be as fast as wands in terms of quick casting and crafting costs, but they can be used to cast large spells that require a long period of channeling.
Because the source of magic power of the staff is not only limited to the body materials of magical creatures with magical powers, but also the use of minerals or other powerful magical items with stronger magical powers, in addition, alchemists will carve spell runes on the staff to make their additional magical attributes better, and even have other amplification effects.
Undoubtedly, a well-made wand has a stronger effect on the caster's own mana and spell boost than a wand.
When it comes to channeling large spells, the staff is the best tool for spellcasting.
But the cost and price of such a wand is far more expensive than that of a wand, and it is simply a luxury, and most wizards cannot afford it.
In dueling, it is also less helpful to wizards than wands. Although it makes the magic cast more powerful, the casting speed is much weaker than that of a wand, and the opponent casts three or five spells, and you may have just completed one on your side, no matter how powerful it is.
Moreover, the staff is not easy to carry, and it is even more of an obstacle when fighting, but it will become an obstacle.
Imagine Sirius going into battle with a staff......
If you take into account the actual magic level of most wizards in the wizarding world today, they are used to casting spells quickly and using wands to complete some daily tasks, many people can't use a simple protective magic, even if they give them a staff, these wizards can't use it, and there is no basis for popularization at all.
Therefore, with the development of time, the staff gradually withdrew from the stage of history and became a rare spell-casting tool.
The same is true of other spell-casting tools, which are inconvenient in one way or another compared to wands, and are gradually becoming extinct.
Wands and wizard magic have become the standard for spellcasters around the world today.
Evan knew this very well, and he really put a lot of effort into understanding the International Alchemy Conference before he came.
In previous International Alchemy Congresses, the innovation of spellcasting tools has been the focus of alchemists.
Some alchemists want to re-promote old spell-casting tools such as staffs, others want to improve their wands, and many want to create new ones.
At each International Alchemy Congress, new results will be launched, which is the most noteworthy part.
Compared to the ancient spellcasters, it has become a global consensus that the overall level of the wizarding world is getting weaker and weaker, and alchemists hope to change this situation by innovating the casting tools.
In addition, another focus of the International Alchemy Congress is potions.
As the organizer of the conference, the Gobarott Alchemy Award Committee will also select and reward major breakthroughs in the field of potions in recent years.
Judging from the situation in previous years, these two aspects should be the most noteworthy points of this conference.
In addition, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic will also invite the participating alchemists to solve the puzzles in the Sun Ruins, and find the treasures hidden in the depths of the ruins, which was not seen in previous years, and is the main reason why Aven came here.
Alchemy originated in ancient Egypt, and as the greatest pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Ramses II left behind this relic is simply a treasure trove of alchemy, in addition to a large number of curses, many mechanisms are related to alchemy.
It was precisely because of these mechanisms involved in alchemy that the excavation work was progressing very slowly, and the rumor that the complete Golden Sutra of the Sun might be hidden in the depths of the ruins made the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and Gringotts have no way to give up.
It's no wonder that the goblin Zosai, who was in charge of the excavation at the time, wanted Aiwen's help in the first place.
This time, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic invited alchemists from all over the world to come and crack the mechanism in the ruins.
Aside from the time-warped hall, Evan was interested in the Golden Sutra of the Sun.
He wasn't going to go too far into the ruin, though, unlike when he first discovered it last year.
Over the years, there have been more and more rumors about this ruin, many wizards have died in it, and as the most powerful ancient warlock in history, no one can be sure what dangerous magic Ramses II will leave in this ruin.
If you enter rashly, I'm afraid there is only one dead end!
Evan had no intention of sending him to his death, and there were a lot of troubles he had to deal with right now.
So, this time, he only planned to go to the time-warped hall in the ruins to take a look......
