Chapter 1188: Research and Invitation
Although the current technology is still immature and there are many problems waiting to be solved, it is conceivable that these new magic weapons, once put into use, will fundamentally change the way wizards fight, which is of great significance.
The traditional way of fighting wizards is to wave their wands and use magic to attack each other.
Most wizards' duels or battles involve shooting spells at each other to dodge each other's spells. Wizards of the level of Dumbledore and Voldemort had more fighting styles and means, and the magic they used was more gorgeous, more varied, and more powerful, but they were essentially the same.
The wizard's wand, i.e. the weapon itself, does no damage.
On the contrary, wands are a weakness for wizards.
Not only can wands not be used directly for attacks, they can be easily damaged and need to be carefully protected.
Use a broken wand to cast a spell, and don't say much about the result.
Gilderoy Lockhart was impressed by the fate of Ivan Lockhart, a hapless fellow who used Ron's bad wand to cast the Oblivion Charm, which hit him with a spell and is still being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.
Even if it's not so unlucky, it's no joke that magic mutates.
When wands are transformed into knives, swords, daggers, bows and arrows, etc., the situation will change completely.
These weapons don't need to be carefully protected, but can be used directly to attack.
The attack power is still very strong, and the physical damage and striking power are not weaker than most spells.
For example, Sirius, for example, has a familiar style of combat: the normal use of magic is complemented by hand-to-hand combat.
If Sirius's wand were to be replaced with a heavy sword, think of that image.
No sooner had the enemy flashed the stun spell from Sirius when he saw a great sword rushing towards him with a great sword......
What should I do? Resist or beg for mercy?
There was no extra time to use magic, and it was impossible to be an opponent of Sirius with a heavy sword.
With the combination of magic and swordsmanship, a wizard like Sirius is at least twice as powerful and damaging.
Although magical strength is fundamental, there are only a few wizards who are truly powerful and master super powerful spells. Many powerful spells either require complex casting conditions, are too slow to be used in combat, or are too difficult for ordinary wizards to master.
The reason why the killing curse perfected by Voldemort can become a killer weapon for Death Eaters is because in a relatively single combat style, this spell is powerful enough to hit and die, and it is easy to master, and it only needs to be evil enough to have evil thoughts to dominate this spell, which is simply the standard configuration of dark wizards.
But not every wizard is a Death Eater, and they don't and don't bother to use the Killing Curse.
In this case, the weapon in hand is particularly important.
Therefore, Evan agrees with what the alchemy team said when they introduced their research results: the birth of such magical weapons will bring earth-shaking changes to wizards' battles, which is of epoch-making significance.
Of course, this is only the idea stage.
There are many hurdles to overcome before wizards can use Muggle weapons to cast magic.
The current idea of this alchemy team from the United States is to make weapons in the same way as wands, these weapons are actually wands that change in appearance, in order to solve problems such as magic transmission, they not only use super magic cores, but also engrave a lot of spell runes on the weapons, inlay gems that gather magic power, and so on.
As a result, the production cost is high.
Just to show the dagger, it cost more than 3,000 gold gallons, and the effect is good. However, if the dagger is replaced with a slightly larger weapon such as a sword, the cost will further increase, far from being a matter of thousands of gold gallons, at least tens of thousands, and the casting effect is not as good as that of a wand.
With such a high manufacturing cost and not ideal use effect, anyone will hesitate.
After listening to them, many wizards felt that it was not worth it to spend more than 3,000 gold gallons to build such a thing.
The so-called magic weapons are just a joke, and there are many people who oppose them even within the Magical Congress of the United States.
This is the main reason why this alchemy team came to Cairo to present their research results.
It stands to reason that the highly sensitive alchemy research of magic weapons should be kept strictly secret, but they are in an awkward position, and they urgently need to use this opportunity to prove the value of their research, and the research has entered a bottleneck, and it is difficult to go further, and they hope to get the help of other wizards......
Evan felt that they were very creative, important enough, and had a great chance of being realized.
He had spoken to the team in depth, and they told him that they believed that in order to make a magic weapon work like a wand, they needed a material that could transmit magic like a wand and maintain the power of the weapon......
This is the main reason why other wizards think they are joking, it is not easy to create a new magical metal, and if it can be done, the research itself can become an alchemical product that will cause a sensation in the wizarding world, just like Dumbledore and Nicol Lemay jointly issued the twelve uses of dragon blood.
Although it was hard, these Americans had no intention of giving up.
They plan to recruit a few alchemists who are good at material conversion to join the team, a field of alchemy that is the strong point of the European wizarding world.
When it comes to material conversion and the creation of new magical metals, Aven has no ideas.
Nicol Lemay gave him a lot of research notes about it, but Evan didn't have time to study it.
For the past two years, he has been mainly studying spell runes and studying ancient magic scripts.
These are the foundations of the foundation of alchemy, the foundation of everything.
At the same time, it is also the key to using him to find that "silent" magic in the Lost Ruins.
This magic was the only magic that Evan had in his hands that could cause damage to the evil god, and he could not afford to ignore it.
After mastering the contents of Nicor Lemay's research notes about spell runes and ancient magic runes, Ewen already has a knowledge reserve beyond that of ordinary wizards, not to mention, he also cracked the mystery of the Jade Record last year, and he is currently one of the strongest people in the world when it comes to ancient magic and magic runes.
Therefore, although it is impossible to convert the new magic metal, Aven has given a lot of suggestions for changing the spell runes engraved on the magic weapons.
According to his design, at least the effect of the magic dagger used for display can be increased by three percent.
If he re-researches it, Evan is confident that he will design a more compliant rune arrangement.
His performance amazed the American wizards, and after a few days of contact with Evan, the initial contempt for Aven's young age disappeared, and finally they even planned to recruit him, and towards the end of the conference, they sent an invitation to Evan to the United States...... [.]
