From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 41: Braking Spells and Creating Wonderful Objects

The agreement Ivy and Harry reached was simple.

Since Harry only had to do Quidditch training three times a week, the Nimbus 2000 was often just left in the dormitory, and Ivy could take this opportunity to study this latest model of flying broom.

In exchange, Ivy only had to do homework other than Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Harry and Ron also asked why Ivy never did his Defense Against the Dark Arts homework.

Ivy's original words were: "Because of Voldemort's curse, the professor of this course usually can't survive to the end of the semester, so I don't need to hand in an assignment to a guy who is destined to fall to his fate."

"Cool." Ron nodded in agreement. "If my mom didn't send me Howlers, I wouldn't hand in my Defense Against the Dark Arts homework."

In order to study the flying broom properly, Ivy also found an absolutely useful expertise from the Grimoire of Destruction - making strange objects.

Making Magical Items allows the caster to use magic to make magic items that meet the requirements after reaching level 3, but it requires a certain amount of time, money, and experience points. Of course, the materials for making magic items need to be prepared by yourself.

Ivy was very interested in this.

When the combination of wizard magic and DND mage magic failed, he tried to use the method of creating strange objects to organically combine the magical powers of the two worldviews into one item.

His idea was simple: give a magical object the ability to fly.

For example, if he gave a crystal ball the ability to cast evocation spells, and then used wizardry to make it fly, would he be able to recreate the look of the blood mage Kael'thas to a certain extent?
If there are three such rare crystal balls, which can respectively release lightning, fire and ice spells, then isn't that the Prayer Carl?

With such high interest, Ivy immediately devoted himself to research.

The first thing to do is to dismantle the broom.

Ivy certainly has no relevant work background or experience, but Scholar's Touch and Crafting Wonders will solve everything for him.

The former allows him to read the Broomstick Maintenance Manual in an instant, and the latter gives him the ability to repair his broomstick.

After some simple preparations, Ivy disassembled Harry's Nimbus 2000 into pieces without hesitation.

Fortunately, this was done in the Room of Requirement, and Harry was not standing nearby watching. Otherwise, seeing the Nimbus 2000 with every branch removed, he would have called the police like a boiling kettle.

The structure of a flying broom is actually not complicated. It is nothing more than a wooden stick, branches, pedals and metal hoops to fix the branches.

But if these ordinary parts are imbued with magic and combined one by one, it becomes a wizard's single-person flying vehicle.

It uses a lot of interesting magical knowledge. The first is the protective spell used to protect the patented spell and the structure of the broom. It can protect against some less vicious black magic, but in the hands of Ivy, the master of black magic, it is simply useless.

Next are the shock-absorbing and cushioning spells on the foot pedals, which prevent wizards riding broomsticks from falling apart during high-speed flight.

Finally, there are the flying spells on the branches and the braking spells on the metal hoops, which together form the power system and braking device of the flying broom.

The most interesting part is the flying spell on the broom branches. Each wooden branch has independent flying magic. When they are fixed together with metal hoops, their respective magic effects can be combined to finally form a flying spell that can lift the wizard up.

Ivy thought that the most essential part of the flying broom was the flying spell and braking spell at the tail, which ensured its speed and maneuverability. He only needed to apply them to the strange objects he was going to make, since Ivy didn't plan to sit on it and fly with it anyway.

Finding materials for making artifacts is a laborious task. The things Ivy stored in the Destruction Grimoire are either too precious or too common, and are not the most suitable materials. Besides, Ivy's experience points can't stand the tossing and turning.

But the silver basswood wand in Ivy's hand gave him new inspiration.

Why not use biological materials to create magical objects? Just like Ollivander used unicorn hair to make his wand, perhaps materials from some magical creatures would have magical effects.

And as it happens, the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is a place as familiar to Ivy as a back garden.

As a result, the operation to search for magical materials in the Forbidden Forest achieved unprecedented success on the first night.

Because Ivy discovered that the Forbidden Forest was full of a magical creature he had never seen before - the eight-eyed giant spider.

More than a hundred years ago, the Forbidden Forest was full of spider nests. When Ivy used black magic to fight poachers, he spent a lot of effort to eliminate them all.

But unexpectedly, more than a hundred years later, a more powerful magical spider creature has occupied the Forbidden Forest, squeezing out the living environment of a considerable number of magical animals.

Therefore, Ivy can kill without mercy.

These eight-eyed giant spiders are full of treasures. Not only is their venom a hot commodity on the black market, but even their giant claws and eyeballs have been plucked by Ivy and used as materials for making rare objects.

Facing the sticky, wet eyes of the eight-eyed giant spider, Ivy got inspiration from ancient magic. Using a sophisticated petrification spell, he successfully turned the tissues that had just been removed from the corpse into crystals.

Combined with the micro core recast using fairy magic silver, the crystallized giant spider eyeball becomes an excellent magical material.

Contrary to Ollivander's idea of making magic wands, Ivy uses metal materials to wrap magical biological materials. This combination has extraordinary magic conduction properties and can be well compatible with magic from two worldviews.

The crystallized giant spider's eyeball carries the flying spell and the braking spell, allowing the entire object to fly freely under the control of the caster, just like a magic floating cannon.

As for the fairy magic silver core inside, it is equivalent to the third-level fireball necklace in the DND world view, which can provide seven fireballs every day.

Yes, the experience of dealing with the eight-eyed giant spider allowed Ivy to gain experience points and successfully obtain a 3rd-level spell slot.

Originally, he just wanted to make a few magic orbs that could launch colorful balls or destructive thunder arrows, but the large amount of experience points made him decide to give it a try, and finally he succeeded in creating the magical artifacts he called elemental orbs.

These three adult fist-sized gems look like pure black crystal balls when not activated. Once they enter standby mode, they will begin to emit elemental light and hover over the caster's shoulders.

With the power of flying spell and braking spell, the orb can fly freely within a certain range around the caster, and launch fireball bombardment at a slightly longer distance. And when Ivy made the orb, he used the power of the scribe wizard to change the damage type of the fireball. So the three orbs have the attributes of fire, frost and lightning respectively.

Now he really became Carl the Prayer.

Ivy looked at the gem with outstanding sound and light effects and nodded with satisfaction.
