Albert was sitting in the corner of the library, dragging his chin in one hand and casually flipping through the catalogue orders in the Wizard Costume Store of the Grace brand, intending to pick out the right Christmas present.

Originally, he planned to create a talisman for Nia himself, but after reading several books on alchemy in a row, he temporarily dispelled this idea.

Albert found his initial idea unrealistic, and although wizards could cast spells on items and give them some magical properties, the magic on the items usually didn't last long and would disappear over time.

In Albert's opinion, it makes more sense to make an amulet that will soon expire as a birthday present, than to buy a scarf for Nia.

It's never easy to create a powerful and long-lasting magical item.

First of all, you need to use some items that carry magic as raw materials, and throughout the manufacturing process, you need to cast spells on those ingredients to make them. After the work is completed, there is also a process of casting a spell on the finished product, and whether the caster is strong enough and skilled in using magic will determine whether the magic item is strong enough and long-lasting.

In ancient times, wizards would also carve runes of runes into magical 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 that have been left behind have been lost.

Using this complex and tedious process, the result is usually a powerful and long-lasting magical item.

Of course, there are places where they are called alchemical items.

To be honest, the wizarding world in England doesn't pay much attention to alchemy.

The concept of alchemy, which originated in ancient Greece and Egypt, was introduced to Western Europe in the 12th century.

Early wizards had a very vague idea of alchemy, and they didn't even know what it was.

Albert read the famous "Jade Record" of ancient Egypt in the library, but he didn't understand the meaning of it, and the first sentence of the book was translated as follows:

As it is above, as it is below, and thus the miracle of the One is accomplished.

The second sentence is: All things are originally the One, and were created from the One through differentiation......

After forcibly reading it and memorizing it, Albert closed the "Jade Record" and stuffed it back into the shelf. Old books are often full of complex and esoteric concepts that can be difficult to understand.

The only thing Albert understood after reading the two sentences of "The Jade Record" was, was he talking about the universe or something? He really didn't think about the meaning of that book, maybe one day he learned alchemy, maybe he suddenly had an epiphany?

Anyway, early alchemy involved several fields.

What explores the mysteries of magic, the form of matter, and the early cosmology, anyway, a bunch of things are integrated into the theory of alchemy.

Later alchemy, in turn, became obsessed with smelting metal, which is why some metalsmiths were dubbed so-and-so alchemists in later generations, although they may prefer to call themselves metalsmiths.

After centuries of development, alchemy laid the foundation for the transformation of matter after the study of great alchemists such as Albert, Thomas von Aquinas, Roger Bacon, Arnold von Willlanova, etc.

Raymonds Luhrer even put forward the hypothesis of the philosopher's stone, that is, the philosopher's stone, based on the theory of "understanding, decomposing, and reconstructing".

This hypothesis was completed by Nicol Mailer.

Through the Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone, the early idea of adding "seeds" to the "transformation" to complete the transformation was realized, and the elixir of immortality was successfully created, and any kind of metal could be turned into pure gold.

Nicol Mailer, who made the Philosopher's Stone, is therefore regarded as the ancestor of European alchemy, standing at the pinnacle of alchemy and looking down on all alchemists.

However, over the years, the idea of the transformation of matter eventually shifted in favor of Potions.

Although the metal craftsmen are also given the title of alchemists, however, this group of people obviously does not have that kind of consciousness, and the branch of alchemy falls on the occult.

Metalsmiths often do the work of metalsmiths who use magic to process metal and create magical items that contain magical powers.

The elves are the best of the bunch, and they specialize in sterling silver products made by using fairy magic, which in this world is similar to mythril in the wizarding world.

However, after a few hours, the goblin forging sterling silver technique was also lost, and only a small number of goblin craftsmen would forge goblin iron.

After the disappearance of the profession of metalsmith, alchemy moved towards the occult, however, most alchemists did not recognize items that had been simply cast as alchemic items.

However, there are also those who call themselves alchemy now, and Albert once read the book "Simple Alchemy" is one of them.

After digging deeper into alchemy, Albert has a new copy of how to make amulets. He needs to find a bunch of magical materials with protective meanings, and put them together to make an amulet, and the amulet produced in this way will greatly enhance the protective magic that Albert eventually unleashes on the amulet.

For example, the magic of the Dharma Tree or the Purple Shirt Tree, the garnet known as the Stone of Life and the Talisman Stone...... USE THE EHWAZ RUNE, WHICH SYMBOLIZES PROTECTION AND DEFENSE IN THE RUNE OF RUNES, AND USE IT IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER RUNES TO STRENGTHEN THE AMULET'S PROTECTIVE POWER.

Unfortunately, although the idea is not good, the reality is cruel. Albert needed more knowledge to help him with this structure, and he himself had little knowledge of Runewen, the ancient magic script.

The records of ancient magical texts are more about interpretation and understanding, and they do not involve deeper things, perhaps, Dumbledore has studied these things, but there are very few wizards who really know how to use them.

Albert threw the idea of making an amulet as a gift behind him, in fact, he already had a more suitable option, and he was almost ready.

A sphinx embogriff that symbolizes Gryffindor.

This was the inspiration for Albert when he practiced basic motor magic, using wood, gears, and magic to create a moving griffin.

What made him set out to do it was the model of the fire dragon on the Goblet of Fire, a model of an equal scale swing.

That's right, since he ordered a few levels of economics-related skills, Albert began to think of all kinds of operations, such as the idea of selling models of various magical creatures in the future, maybe he could make a lot of money.

After all, he can find someone to work with, set up a company or something, and invest and provide the technology himself.

In order to carve the griffin, Albert also went to the spiral staircase of the principal's office on the third floor, observed a statue of the griffin for a long time, and took several photos from multiple angles.

By the way, he also upgraded his carving skills to the next level, using the wood of the Guardian Tree provided by Hagrid to piece together a sphin-like Hippogriff, and the basic movement magic can even make it stir its wings, as for whether it can fly or not, of course, is impossible at present.

As for the future, Albert believes he can do it and perfect it from the ground up. After all, he has a panel, how can he not be confident!

As for who to work with, Albert even had a pre-existing candidate, such as a hapless guy who was crushed by someone.
